    Lemmy should make its own awards.

    Award #1 – Blackjack

    Aware #2 – Hookers

      I like to give out Lemmy Lemons 🍋

      I enjoy that they’re meaningless and if people find them obnoxious they can just downvote them.

      An anonymous user liked your comment so much they’ve gifted you Lemmy Hookers™!

      Very dapper!

      What would be pretty awesome is if Lemmy implemented an optional awards feature that could accept donations into a tip jar of some sort. Many of us running smaller instances appreciate selfless donations, but this could be a decent way to make supporting hosting costs more fun.

        instance based awards only though, as of would be hard to control award manipulation from private lemmy servers thay are federated

          Make awards not actually do anything other than be a tip for the server hoster like Reddit gold used to be. Now which server owner it should go to is another question.
