    Any thoughts on adding emoji (or custom) reactions to posts? Might be a fun free alternative to Reddit’s award system. Might just add clutter.

    Edit: nvm, found an open issue where you said you’d like to add it but there are lots of other things to do first: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2541

      I generally like awards, but on Reddit I’ve completely ignored them on posts. It was just too many of them.

      I liked the awards for comments though, as they helped pick out comments from the bottomless pit. Not really a problem on Lemmy yet…

      Just as with reddit’s awards it would just be clutter

      Maybe i would approve of just one special award award that you can grant once per day to a post or comment. But not tens of different icons atop of every post that would be awful.

        This is more about reactions like mastodon has, IE they’d live alongside upvotes, but not affect the sorting.
