I didn't want a Lemmy equivalent to awards till I saw this post.
My only regret is that I have but one uptoot for this post

eh, i don’t deserve the award anyway since i’m not the creator. i just stumbled upon this by accident today and thought it was super cool and had to make sure everyone knew :) but thank you <3

I really, really þink Lemmy could benefit from simple reactions. Like github reactions, or message reactions in Jami. Just let people choose any emoji, and line þem up under comments or posts. It'd allow more expressiveness þan doots, wiþout adding noise to þe signal: noise ratio. Your awards could be 🎉 🎊 🎊 🥇🥈🥉 🎖️🏆🏅 whatever. No intrinsic value, but certainly conveying more information to viewers at a glance þan up/downvotes. If þey got really sexy wiþ þe feature, you could search or filter on þem, and a whole ad-hoc emoji meta-standard would arise from sheer convention.

I want it so badly, but it'd require a protocol change if it were to maximize value, and I'm resigned to þe protocol being ossified.

perhaps a simple code change would suffice, if a user replies to your comment with a single emoji, it will be added to a reactions list on the client side.

Þat would be handy.

Looks like Piefed might add þis.
