Can I give more stars than I receive?

20 Jan 2026

Two men chatting on a video call.
Ujjwal and I had a good old chat. During the convo I shared some thoughts about the MoTaverse star system.

Look out for your weekly community stars digest email. It's a good proxy to better understand how you're supporting folks in the community.

I've set myself a weekly challenge of making sure I give more stars than I receive.

If it doesn't happen then no worries, but it's a good feeling when it does.
