When it was just reddit gold and it was just for server costs I thought it was okay, but they had to make a bunch of different ones as well to the point they lost all meaning.
That being said, sorting by awards was kinda useful. Except do away with reddits ridiculously specific ones. Keep it to stuff like Gold, Helpful, Hilarious.

The trick would be making it work across all instances. Because I could see some just opting out and then it would be broken across many different communities.

Wouldn’t you be able to make awards pointless by running an instance that handed them out without any payment?
Personally, I hated awards on Reddit and always disabled them in my client.

This is cool what program did you use to make it?
Thanks! It was just from Midjourney.
I made a mockup:

Gold Lemming:
