As I scroll through the global feed, I end up seeing content from a lot of the same people (“The Picard Maneuver” is a user I recognize often and appreciate their content).
Would it be worthwhile to have some kind of “Top of Lemmy” or “Top of the Fediverse” awards where the Fediverse could honor users that made an impact over the prior year?
Of course that’s an option. But that was always an option. Why not allow another unobtrusive avenue to help fund things? It’s one of the very very few form of monetization that is at worst annoying, and could be hidden if needed by user settings.
