it kinda did yeah...awards were fun though

[–] ConTheLibrarian@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (5 children)

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

[–] A_Chilean_Cyborg@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

100% want this.

The eye shines make it look wall-eyed.

[–] Aviandelight@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Now I can't unsee it.

[–] gamers_Mate@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is cool what program did you use to make it?

[–] dephyre@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks! It was just from Midjourney.

[–] jmshrv@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ConTheLibrarian@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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?

[–] MysticSmear@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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.

I made a mockup:

Silver Lemming: Gold Lemming: Platinum Lemming:

[–] Amir@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

Silver and Plat look the same to me

Gold looks like piss

[–] WheeGeetheCat@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

awards = cool

awards that increase visibility, comment rank, other pay2influence = no likee

[–] spiderkle@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago
[–] ConTheLibrarian@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ricdeh@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, please no! That goes so much against the spirit of the Fediverse and FOSS!

[–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Honestly not to me. They've always felt like...

[–] gamers_Mate@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] marswarrior@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Attendance trophy.

[–] Hypersapien@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I once got Inciteful Post of the Day.

No, that's not a typo.

Basically Jordan Peterson being an asshat.

We[^1] have custom emojis[^2] instead BlobCat Hyperthink.

[^1]: Those of us on Lemmy 0.18.0 [^2]: Easier to type inline images, really. There isn't anything emoji about them

[–] spiderkle@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

OMG that's awesome!

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago
