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?
IMO, rather than putting top posters on a pedestal, we should focus our energies on rising to their ranks. More (thoughtful) participation is better for everyone, even the top posters. I’m sure they get tired of coming up with content for all of us.
Yeah, I feel challenged by your comment and want to be someone who posts more often. I enjoy commenting and having discussions, but OC hasn’t been my forte. The Fediverse seems like a much less caustic place than Reddit.
