I consider the fact that karma farming isn't a thing on Lemmy a massive improvement over Reddit.

Imo that's how you start undermining genuine discussions as (a subset of) users will start farming karma because number go up means they belong with the tribe.
Edit: my bad, I thought this was a feature request
actual vote counting was removed quite a while ago iirc
but then how can I measure the worth of a person?
Obviously by how many non-text characters are in their display name.
Obviously, you go to their account and calculate your own metric of worth, something like (days since register + posts + upvotes of 10 most upvoted posts). Of course, the metric should be designed to increase your own relative worth.
