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.
Awards on lemmy would be a great way to subsidize server costs.
100% want this.
^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?
Thanks! It was just from Midjourney.
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?

I made a mockup:
Silver Lemming:
Gold Lemming:
Platinum Lemming:
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.
Silver and Plat look the same to me
Gold looks like piss
