I came from Reddit where they definitely did matter. They don’t seem to hold any real weight here. Is this true for some or all instances? If they don’t matter, what are they for?

    Make a new account on Reddit, and you soon learn that votes (and therefore karma points) do matter. Even the karma in one subreddit can be relevant, so older accounts joining subreddits need to be careful not to annoy the local establishment.
