Oh I'm sure the community will find a workaround! I just hope the developers make our lives easier by creating a proper solution, instead of requiring the workaround in the first place!
I also like the idea of "anthology" posts, if I may call them than! Sounds like a great project for @goldendawne or @kiaraantonoviche! ;) Make a post and call it "Best from the last month / year/ season / whatever" and share the rewards around!
The "Best from last month / year / season /whatever" sond like a really proper idea. Goes arounf the self-reposting and makes curation go a step further. Very good idea!
