maybe when you donate to your instance, you can get some, or when you have x amount of upvotes, or when you have cake day (whe call it like that, right?)

Cake day or donations would be fine, but I wouldn't award them for upvotes--that would encourage the type of behavior we're trying to discourage here.

That being said, I'm not sure whether it would be an update to the codebase, or if that could be done at an instance level.

I would think it would have to be an update to the client (App/Webpage) and server (database) code so yes, update to the codebase.

For the client side, the app/webpage would need to be update to display awards in the UI. And the server would need to store the awards, content award is associated with, user info etc.

I was thinking of an idea similar to Reddit awards to help fund instances.
