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:
- €150 to a charity of choice
- €100 to a charity of choice
- €75 to a charity of choice
- €50 to a charity of choice
- €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.
Just a tip! The whitelist command works on the leaderboard post: https://lemmy.world/post/27663919
It does not appear to work on this post
It probably does work here, but this community isn’t in my whitelist list so no response from the bot is send.
For the last ten years I’ve been growing my hair out to donate to “Children with Hair Loss”. Takes me two years to get it to length. Two full head of hair and two mohawks. Third mohawk going soon.
That’s going to be my charity, if I win.
Does the capitalization of lemmysilver matter? Can it be Lemmysilver, LemmySilver, lemmysilver, LeMmYsIlVeR?
!lEmmYSiLvER ?

This is great fun thanks for doing it
Thanks for putting this together!
It looks like a lot of people are attempting to use it on comments instead of a direct reply to the post, while expecting it to go to the commenter.
Can we get a confirmation from the bot of who the vote is going to?
Uh sure, yea will add that in the next update. But in the case you described it would go to the commenter.
Oh, awesome, I thought we had to pm it to the bot to give it to a commenter. Thanks!
