Awards on lemmy would be a great way to subsidize server costs.

Make ‘em lead silver and platinum, all looking identical with the only difference being how much was paid for ‘em.

I love how these images are massive. I think you should be able to pay more to make your awards occupy more pixels.

Wouldn’t you be able to make awards pointless by running an instance that handed them out without any payment?

Personally, I hated awards on Reddit and always disabled them in my client.

The technicalities are above my head but I don’t see how/why.

  1. Couldn’t other instances somehow prevent those awards from displaying on theirs?

  2. Doesn’t make sense to do by someone paying to host an instance.

  3. Wouldn’t everyone have to create users on that specific instance to do it?

I don’t know how it could be implemented across the fediverse. But if they could figure it out I would pay. I was a Reddit premium payer just because I loved giving awards.

The trick would be making it work across all instances. Because I could see some just opting out and then it would be broken across many different communities.

We[1] have custom emojis[2] instead .

  1. Those of us on Lemmy 0.18.0 ↩︎

  2. Easier to type inline images, really. There isn’t anything emoji about them ↩︎

That being said, sorting by awards was kinda useful. Except do away with reddits ridiculously specific ones. Keep it to stuff like Gold, Helpful, Hilarious.

When it was just reddit gold and it was just for server costs I thought it was okay, but they had to make a bunch of different ones as well to the point they lost all meaning.
