I personally am a fan of the “both/and” approach to praise :)
I like it when people celebrate their favorite contributors, I think this is a great thing about the Forum! This also genuinely feels pretty rare for an online community IMO!
I think leaving a quick positive comment on posts you like, e.g. “I enjoyed reading this post, thanks!”, is an underrated move (even if you have nothing substantive to say) :) — as a post author, I’ve really appreciated these.
I would also love for people to highlight folks they think are going under-recognized & are making significant contributions.
