Implementing something like that for something as open source and decentralized as lemmy sounds tricky. People can already donate directly to both instances and the lemmy project.
Yes but to put myself in the shoes of your average social media user - a donation just disappears, although you get the warm fuzzy feeling for doing so. Buying rewards actually gives something (albeit very small) in return so we can show our appreciation towards others who are creating quality content
