You get free coins very day you can’t buy them but you can award people with those coins that way you save up for something that was really wholesome, informative, or funny. Keep in mind this is not pay to win, no money involved it’s just a daily bonus for logging in and awarding outstanding posts.
Disagree, Lemmy does not need to become Reddit. It’s worth pointing out that on Lemmy, it’s expected behavior for people to have several accounts, which already messes with voting enough. Having one person being able to award a post/comment on 10 accounts would only make this worse.
