How does it appear in your life?

A fun way to have quizzes about whatever topic(s) (for school, hobby etc), where people see the question, answers and need to choose the correct answer as fast as they can to beat the others in the point race (when default settings are enabled).

You can also create your own quizzes (registration required for that).

Imagine having a deck of cards that contain one or more topics of things you find interesting to study, or for school and work materials.

Some features

• Create, edit, import and study cards. Look at the front, think of the answer (at the back), flip it over and analyze how well you did with knowing the answer
• Different types of cards. Flip over to see the answer, hide things within images, arrange data within a card in a correct order (addon), type in text within a card and many more! You can even create your own card types!
• Handle tags to organize cards, and to do filtered studying
• Spaced repetition. The cards you study come always back. But when does it come back? Well - that depends on how well you memorize it. Some take a minute before reappearing while some take 7+ years
• Addons. Install different tools that makes Anki easier, more useful, or feel like a game (if it doesn't already feel like one)
• Sync decks for many different devices
• Look at your studying data through statistics

Hey you!

I just created a community.
And started to wonder whether it's cool/interesting enough. Or whether it even follows the rules to exist in the first place, heh...

There's one old post about the matter already: https://lemmy.world/post/285637?sort=New
It discusses generating enough content in a new community to give some ground for discussion, and moderating it.

But I thought that as time has passed...maybe we'd have some new/more insight or ideas/thoughts about different tips, tricks or guidelines towards creating a quality community? A 2025 version of that old post, if you will.

Story? Gained loot? Becoming a god?

It can be whatever!

Things that could be good material for some gamification.

Being too boring, or a grind to accomplish, or generating (too much) anxiety etc

Mine may well be to go to bed before a set hour hits the clock 😅

I'm probably having a two-month-row of failing that one simple task.
Even now it's 5:00 and I should have gotten in bed two hours ago to fulfill that task as completed (for this day)

I found out a few servers related in Discord:

• Gamification Global - https://discord.gg/ukKWceyGAQ
• Gamification - https://discord.gg/VtRjuT86cA

Test whatever (real) video game type!
Level up with experience, gain loot and use stuff! Gather resources and build something from them! Do a Tetris! Make a racing map and gain on others as you progress through your to-do -list! Run a little farther away from that closet monster when you complete a task! Grow from the tiniest particle to the biggest thing via going forward in real life! Gain money to buy a trade product, travel and sell it for a better price somewhere else!

Test whatever mechanics you enjoy in yer games!
Throw the die to see what happens! Just finished a bigger task? Roll twice or get a better chance for a better thing happening in your gamification system! Come up with more features as your pile of done tasks grow (if you find it appealing)! Is it easier to find accountability through a group of other people, or is it easier to fulfill tasks when it could be turned into a competition against other "players"?

Come up with useful and fun rewards!
Enjoy a snack! Get or upgrade a tool or equipment! Get to see a picture, or a quote, or a sound as you progress through your responsibilities!

I once heard from a person that they created a Tetris system for themselves.

They would have created a task and connected it to a specific piece. Then, always when they did it, they'd color it inside the Tetris gameboard/panel.

• You can basically use whatever shapes and colors, and different rotations
• You can come up with different-looking levels (not just rectangles - what about a circle or a hexagon?)
• Maybe a nice reward when one row is filled? Or when the whole field is filled?
