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?

Seems like an easy way to help fund the servers without being overtly obtrusive. I'm all for it personally.

Like how else is Lemmy sustainable? Needs some modest form of revenue.

Donate to lemmy.ca and donate to the Lemmy dev team.

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.

I hadn’t even thought of this as something that could generate donations, but that it would be just for fun. Very interesting idea.

Maybe there’s some opportunity to make something like this into a celebration kind of like AGDQ where people can donate and then donations get sent out to instances or something. (I don’t know, I’m not clever about that kind of stuff.)
