MODERATORS
 

Hello world,

Today we are starting an April Fools charity event called: Lemmy Silver! accessible to all users of Lemmy with an account made before today (also non-world users!).

From now on, every 24 hours, you can comment !lemmysilver under any post in participating communities (see: this post for more information), or send a PM to this bot account with (!lemmysilver [username]) to award the poster points. We will keep a score depending on the amount of votes you send and receive. More details can be found in this post.

In this post we will keep a live leaderboard. At the end of April the users with the highest score will get these prizes:

  1. €150 to a charity of choice
  2. €100 to a charity of choice
  3. €75 to a charity of choice
  4. €50 to a charity of choice
  5. €25 to a charity of choice

If you are a moderator and want to add your community to the whitelist, type !whitelistsilver in the comments or in a PM to the bot account to whitelist all the communities you moderate, or send a PM to me (Thekingoflorda).

The prize fund is made up by personal donations from members of the admin team and the moderation team, no money from the Fedihosting Foundation is used for this event. If you want to contribute to the prize fund, please send me a PM.

We also made a little survey for this event, so if you have 2 minutes, please fill it out: https://app.formbricks.com/s/cm8x96xjc022vvt01xr0z9tdp

Feel free to leave any feedback here in the comments, in !LemmySilver@lemmy.world or by sending them to my PMs. The bot's PM will probably not be read. Please be honest, but respectful and keep the TOS in mind.

Thank you everyone! Hope you have fun.

PS. The bot might be a bit unstable in the beginning, so please send all your complaints my way so I can fix the inevitable bugs.

!lemmySilver

Just testing does it still count if the comment contains other text after the command. It's not immediately clear from the instructions how that works.

Cool experiment! Do you expect silver awards only for posts newer than April 1, or can I go back and award favorite past content as well? Obviously the idea is to stimulate new content, but it would be nice to have intent spelled out clearly, and with the bot checking. I like the idea either way, and also that you’re limiting to only accounts older than today.
