Fwiw I just think it’s fine to get karma for sharing linkposts – you’re doing a valuable service if you’re sharing useful information. I don’t know of other forums that draw a distinction between linkposts and regular posts in terms of where they show up.
It makes sense that it feels a bit weird, but given our limited dev time I think I’d mostly recommend feeling more free to do linkposts as they currently are (marking down who the author is in the title, so people can see what’s going on)

My main aversion is that I don’t want them to drown out my own posts on my user page.
