You don't want to rare anywhere.
Zaps, replies and shares are enough. They are universal things you can do on any content type. They are high signal and users do them anyway fir other reasons.
LLM's and other types of computation can pick it up from there and show you whatever kind of synopsis stuffed to the aircofuck content type / user preference.
If you prefer your synopsis to have some kind of ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating, go for it. But I'm not entering those.
*rate
I like the ⭐ bookmark, idea, and combining that with the other data to create a rating. Bookmarking a repo or a movie or book seems very high-signal.
Yes, public bookmarking is extremely high signal.
It's in the "Share" category for me because it can take many shapes:
- share to your own public bookmarks
- share/host in a community
- share in Stories
- ...
Zaps and replies are high signal, true, but you need relative measuring here which they don't provide.
You might have an excellent app that got 2x 21 sats, vs a mediocre app that got 10x 5 sats but simply because it was discovered a bit earlier. The computation will give 2 stars to the former and 5 to the latter?
Plus, you introduce another thing to trust (the computation). Ratings are signed by users and are incredibly low friction - in the context of wanting to rate something, write, zap, etc
