Back on Reddit, I followed people who made awesome ingame arts, so I never miss out on their content. I think that would be a good feature for lemmy aswell.
I think it'd be a risky route to take, as it creates the possibility of the general populace electing "lemmy influencers" and ruining it all.
The would be lemmy instances and server admins, with the power to defederate. This is always risky, that you land in an isolated bubble
Maybe a safer option would be to simply be able to add specific users' posts and/or commented posts to your landing page (which could even be implemented in the front end), never collecting or keeping any statistics of how many "followers" people have.
I agree with this. Thatwould be a pretty solution.
