    I think they serve a purpose, which is to focus the numerous posts so the whole community doesn’t get overridden with by topic for the whole day.

      On Reddit we created those because on thread would give a user 10K posting karma. Users would game the system to do it so megathreads were created to eliminate the karma farming. Lemmy points don’t mean anything and you can only see points on certain apps like Connect for Lemmy.
