Hell no. I was aghast to find reddit added that. That's just feels like more numbers to obsess over. There's a reason we don't count karma here.

MODERATORS
Take my meaningless upvote!
It's not meaningless - it moves the comment/post a bit higher for others to see on some sorting options. It just isn't summated per user and obsessed over.
Legit question, but that's a no for me.
While it's partly that it's not really useful, and makes other features a better priority, it's also partly because it would make people that think influencer is a valid job title plague lemmy.
Neither of those is worth casual curiosity
Yes.
I spent a bunch of time translating some notes into posts and got one comment and a handful of upvotes. If I saw stats saying 20 or 30 people spent time looking at the posts without interacting, then it would feel like it's worth doing again.
(I realize Lemmy doesn't track view time, but still)
Sometimes it feels like I'm posting into the void. It doesn't feel like it's worth the effort.
Interesting use case for them
Yeah but I'm glad they're not here.
I liked this stats but don't like that I liked them. I shouldn't feel so happy at number go up. Lemmy is way less adictive for me and I'm happy with it
Good question though
No. Just another way to mine for data.
If it's just you that mines your owndata?
I like to view pretty graphs on InfluxDB, PiHole, Homeassistant, Trakt/Jellyfin.
No, that seems incredibly toxic.
I don't. I even removed analytics from my website which doesn't even have comments. It doesn't give me satisfaction at all.
Upvotes, it seems so random what gets upvoted anyway so most of the time it's not because of the quality of my post.
Comments, yes that one I like because I get to see other peoples view on the topic which I'm interested in.
It's one fe the new features I don't like on what reddit has become, so nope
