Add the ability to gild posts for donations to lemmy-hosters? (self.technology)

I think it would be a great way to give money to the hosters and get something that actually helps the community. Like having the cake and eating it too.

You donate a certain amount and get a sticker or something you can stick to threads like gilding in reddit.

But instead of giving money to an evil corporation you`d give it to the people that actually enable us to have the fediverse.

That sounds like a nightmare to organise. Just donate to the instances you like or the main Lemmy project ^^

Some kind of gilding feature could be cool though. Once a week super upvote maybe? Don't paywall it.

Both options appeal to me.
