Karma-farming on Lemmy makes basically no sense because it doesn't even natively report it. I installed a Firefox add-on that tabulates it but it's slow and clunky. Functionally no one sees a user's karma.

    I honestly think it's kinda lame since you can't see who is just being a troll. That said, there's only like 15 or so people on here so it's not that big a deal as you pretty quickly learn who people are and can just block them or whatever. lol

    I also never thought it was a big deal on reddit!; never understood why the people that "didn't care" about karma seemed to care so much about others having it.

    That's exactly why it isn't a thing on Lemmy. Not because knowing who is a troll of a bad thing but because it is a terrible measure of that. Karma systems, like Reddit's are far too easy to game in order to lend a false sense of legitimacy to statements associated with an account (or try to make a legitimate account appear illegitimate) in order to manipulate people. Propagandists and other bad actors love karma systems because of this.
