One thing I still don't understand is if upvotes are per instance or collective. If we had a karma system, it would be very open to abuse with instances popping up to farm.

I wonder what kind of metrics could make lemmy/fediverse stand out. Obviously the discussions are the point, but karma was a psychological motivator.

Please god, no karma system. I like the up/down votes on posts and comments, because it lets me know if a community likes the content or not. But a popularity contest is absolutely unnecessary.
