I’ve been trying to create communities that are missing and filling them with content as much as I can. That’s obviously not scalable as one person, so I try to encourage others via commenting.
Any thoughts around the idea of points (Similar to Karma) and seeing weekly/monthly ranking of content creating users?
Light hearted competition, and encourages contributing > lurking.
If you don’t like the idea, please share your suggestions. I’m just trying to think of ways to encourage contribution and capitalize on the hot iron we have going on now. :)
Absolutely true, which is why I posted it on Lemmy.world. I joined on this instance, so if figured I’d ask here and see.
Ah, I see, you were just considering your home instance. So if I want a shiny new award I’ll have to ask my admin, TheDude, about this proposal 😅. Good idea though
Yeah, it’s a bit rough trying to get the fediverse to agree on a single idea ya know. If it does work here though, it would ripple if it has a good effect.
I think my instance is getting along really well so far. If you guys try it out here I’m pretty sure we would follow suit.
