One of the things I love about Lemmy is that there's no score/karma count because it means people are posting because they want to, rather than just collecting points.

That said, we could have a monthly or yearly thing to highlight especially funny or memorable posts.

There are multiple apps that are starting to implement karma-counting functions, so that state probably won't last long.

A monthly/yearly post sounds like a cool idea. Have we had enough interesting stuff in the last month to justify one?

The guy building Connect is really responsive to requests so I'd definitely be asking for that to be an option rather than a baked in 'feature'. I'm really enjoying the lack of karma farming about the place.

Every month might be a bit of a stretch at the moment but I was trying to avoid suggesting we straight-up copy the end of year awards on the kiwi reddit sub.

Even as an option, people will probably still karma farm if they can choose to see it.

Having an annual award sounds great but it feels so far away at the moment! The great reddit to Lemmy migration only started less than 2 months ago. Anything further that a month or two in the future seems like an eternity away!

Maybe you can remind me at the end of the year 🙂
