I’m actually curious the reason why Lemmy does not have a karma equivalent.

I don’t miss it since I rarely checked my reddit karma but it does have pros and cons.

Karma might work on a per instance basis, but if implemented on a federation wide scale you'd have to trust every instance. It would be far too easy to artificially increase your karma with your own rogue instance just by editing the database.
