Oh dear - Lemmy.ca

I really hope that Lemmy will never have it. Karma destroyed Reddit.
it kinda did yeah…awards were fun though
Awards on lemmy would be a great way to subsidize server costs.
^Mother fucker^.... *Digs out wallet
The eye shines make it look wall-eyed.
Now I can't unsee it.
This is cool what program did you use to make it?

I made a mockup:

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.

  • Couldn't other instances somehow prevent those awards from displaying on theirs?

  • Doesn't make sense to do by someone paying to host an instance.

  • Wouldn't everyone have to create users on that specific instance to do it?

  • 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

    OMG that’s awesome!

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

    I once got Inciteful Post of the Day.

    No, that's not a typo.

    What did you incite?
