Thoughts on features to boost intent for posting more?

Like a karma system of that other forum website.

I currently miss a point system to motivate me that shows people via my profile how much I could help by posting/commenting. There’s no system to create such feedback currently on Lemmy.

Are there statements by the creators of this platform about that?

I agree, but I don’t think a karma system is good. Maybe something like a system of streaks would be better? Like showing how many days in a row you made a post

I don’t want people posting just to make a number go up. If you don’t have anything you want to say, don’t post. If you don’t feel motivated to engage, that’s fine. Just lurk, or log off and do something else.

Dude, you’ve been on lemmy 4 days.

Maybe try getting into the vibe here before suggesting stuff that nobody really liked on reddit in the first place

You think a generic score is better?

Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

Classic western.

That’s where the line comes from.

However, I prefer the UHF version: Badgers? We don’t need no stinking badgers.

Karma is not a good system.

I do agree however that additional features to encourage posting and engagement would be good for Lemmy.
