This is an opportunity for any users, server admins, or interested third parties to ask anything they’d like to @[email protected] and I about Lemmy. This includes its development and future, as well as wider issues relevant to the social media landscape today.
Note: This will be the thread tmrw, so you can use this thread to ask and vote on questions beforehand.
Any thoughts on adding emoji (or custom) reactions to posts? Might be a fun free alternative to Reddit’s award system. Might just add clutter.
Edit: nvm, found an open issue where you said you’d like to add it but there are lots of other things to do first: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2541
We did it at hexbear, the changes might make it upstream some day!![kirby-wave kirby-wave](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/84cf2687-8fa0-4d3f-b0ec-337d70d2b597.gif)
This is more about reactions like mastodon has, IE they’d live alongside upvotes, but not affect the sorting.
Just as with reddit’s awards it would just be clutter
Maybe i would approve of just one special award award that you can grant once per day to a post or comment. But not tens of different icons atop of every post that would be awful.
I generally like awards, but on Reddit I’ve completely ignored them on posts. It was just too many of them.
I liked the awards for comments though, as they helped pick out comments from the bottomless pit. Not really a problem on Lemmy yet…
Here’s some lemmy gold for your contribution

Edit: I see its silver on Macs, so… lemmy coin?
