Perhaps it’s not clear whether adding agreement karma to posts is positive on net; but I think perhaps it would be worth adding for a month as an experiment.
A counter-consideration is that many voters on the Forum may not understand the difference between overall karma and agreement karma still. Unconclusive weak evidence: This answer got 3 overall karma with 22 votes (at some point it was negative) and 18 agreement karma with 20 votes:
(It’s unconclusive evidence because while the regular karma downvotes surprised me, people could have had legitimate reasons for not liking the meta-answer and downvoting it. My suspicion though is that at least some people down-voted this in an attempt to “Disagree” vote in the poll.)

I agree that maybe people don’t get it (like kinda me) but I think both things, posts and comments, should have it or neither.
