I like the idea.
I think reblogging as a feature now is next to useless.
Something that I would be worried about, are accounts that just reblog every post. Some exist already and they are incredibly annoying, if you follow the account. They reblog every one of their followers and load your feed with so much noise that they bury your own followers posts. I followed accounts like that and muted them after a day bc of how annoying that was.
Something that should be added to the reblogging feature, regardless if your idea is added or not, is a limit to the amount of reblogs a person can do. I'd limit it to one reblog per day myself, maybe two lol.
Reblogging to me should be: "this post is so good that I have to be the first one to introduce it to my friends," NOT "I'm going to reblog every post so I can end up in every hive accounts notifications and hopefully they will give me an upvote"
Yeah, some restrictions and gamification could be applied to it, since it's all handled by us (the service) and not the blockchain, we could go quite crazy with it if resources allow. Such as limiting the amount of reblog's we'd count per day or let's say the first one has a higher weight to it than the second one in terms of how much rewards you can get, etc.
Okay I see. That makes sense
