you know, like on the other website.
maybe when you donate to your instance, you can get some, or when you have x amount of upvotes, or when you have cake day (whe call it like that, right?)
Here: 🏆🥇
New Lemmy Idea: If someone comments a 🥇, you are allowed to edit the title and put that in title to show you’ve been awarded.
One commenter awarding you = 🥉
Two = 🥈
Three or more = 🥇
And if you put that in title without a corresponding comment, you get banished to the “Award Forgery” Hell forever.
Sure.
Here you go:
that’s a certificate, duh…
Oof, you are totally right. Here, take this too
Cake day or donations would be fine, but I wouldn’t award them for upvotes–that would encourage the type of behavior we’re trying to discourage here.
That being said, I’m not sure whether it would be an update to the codebase, or if that could be done at an instance level.
I would think it would have to be an update to the client (App/Webpage) and server (database) code so yes, update to the codebase.
For the client side, the app/webpage would need to be update to display awards in the UI. And the server would need to store the awards, content award is associated with, user info etc.
I was thinking of an idea similar to Reddit awards to help fund instances.
good point conserning upvotes.
in the end it should be just another entry in the database, so might be able to implement on an instance level.
Cake day is already a thing
!dbzer0.com@dbzer0.com has flairs implemented for MVPs
The Fediverse is the great equalizer. You’ll have to do with upvotes, words and emojis. 😂
i hate emojis.
I don’t care for awards in general, but having one for donating to the instance could work as an incentive.
The one feature I’m missing that’s not on Lemmy is flairs. They’re particularly useful for sports communities or anything location/region based:)
We already have that on our instance. It’s a tiny step to also have discourse-style achievements, but I really need some ui devs to help me actually display the damn things natively 😅
