Why don’t you make it so karma from posts gives much higher boost to total karma than karma from comments (maybe 5x, possibly even 10x)? This has seemed like an obvious improvement to me for a while. (If you don’t wanna inflate total karma, you could instead do 13x vs. 3x or something.)
Sometimes I wonder whether there should just be nonlinear returns to karma on any item. Like, a 100 karma post should count for much more than 20 5-karma comments / posts.

Something a bit awkward about this is it incentivizes making long comments and quick takes into low-effort posts.
