Is it possible to design a social media app or service that rather than focuses on farming engagement, it tries to promote quality content? (lemmy.world)

I think it's possible, but it needs to strike lightning to be at the right place and the right time in a proverbial sense, for it to be successful longer term. Everybody's trying to meet a metric in this world where clicks and views and conversions are easy to measure but something like quality is difficult to define at its best and impossibly subjective at its worst.
