I don’t feel like !linux@lemmy.ml has a problem with spam/reposts, at least with the current users. If lemmy got more popular this might change, but as long as the current mods do action unwanted posts, I think we’re okay.

Without account-wide karma on lemmy, hopefully we’ll avoid the karma farming known from reddit. At least I want to believe others also post what they think this community might interest, without other selfish reasons.

I personally try to only post likns on topics not already discussed previously, and I think I do a good job with it. As someone who didn’t post on reddit (besides commenting), I want to encourage people to look whether an interesting article/topic was posted recently and post it if not. I want this community to thrive, which includes avoiding depending on only a few people. Just my 2 cents.
