Thanks Ben! No wonder I see a star icon...I am a Community Curator Avenger :D
Already given out some Gems to some people already!!!
Woohoo! We might change the star icon itsel as it was kind of a placeholder that just ended up shipping to prod 🙃
But everything about this seems like it's working as it should so far.
I'm flattered.
Btw, we'll be in touch with all curators for more details shortly.
Sounds good! Looking forward to this. Thanks @ben and the whole DEV team!
How many did you select other than me? Should we create a DEV org for the Community Curators???
WAIT A MIN, you can give gem to a comment???? Wow :o
Yeah. It's the biggest boost you can give to a comment. We don't yet have comments represented as part of "discovery" yet so I didn't get into it here, but folks will get notice when their comment is selected — and it will get a bigger boost in the thread.
The best part? It's basically impossible to rig. While we'll need to eventually figure out how to scale the Community Curator program, we are intentionally starting with a very very small cohort of curators to ensure high quality gems.
I'm really excited to see how our collective feeds shift and improve with this touch of human curation. I'll probably be going to the /curated tab first as a new daily routine.
Nothing is impossible. But we have lots of anti-rigging mechanics in place 😄
Who is usually the go-to person for this program or is it just the whole dev team?
@heyitsjem will be your go-to. They're emailing shortly.
@jess Hy i wanted to confirm is the weekend challenege generoisty edtiion has started or not as submission are due by tommorrow but it still shows upcoming ?
Im interested to see what happens with this. The anti rig. I like it. In a world where everything is automated, we now try to rediscover ways to capture the organic, or otherwise well-written content by giving power to the community. This is an interesting experiment, and also shows that this community already has trust woven into its fibers.
Human curation this sounds like a solid plan. Much rather hear what the community like than just an algorithms. I like human eyes on the content not just the hashtags.
Ooooh that a gooood idea! 🥰
Whoa, I didn’t expect that! 😮 This is actually so cool!
I saw the Curated section today, and I loved seeing the articles being selected there! Congrats to everyone who got selected as Community Curators too 😃
You already got me on the "human-first" take. I really like where this is going. Been having a hard time lately finding genuine posts here on DEV. Good thing, the humans in charge are still pro-humans!
Ooooh 😀
Sweet! I have recently started to notice this new lil icon. +rep for making the already over-gamified platform even more gamified:
Thanks <3!
this is hilarious now! :D :D

Just got my first Gem and didn't know what's going on.
Thanks Dev Team <3
Still waiting for the one🙃
