Is your proposal related to a problem?

Currently, when browsing Lemmy, users can save posts by clicking on the star icon. However, there is no indication of how many times a post has been saved by other users. This information could be valuable for users to gauge the popularity and usefulness of a post.

Describe the solution you'd like.

I propose adding a save count next to the star icon on each post. This would display the number of times a post has been saved by users. The save count should be visible to all users, regardless of whether they have saved the post themselves or not.

Describe alternatives you've considered.

An alternative solution could be to display the save count only when a user hovers over the star icon. This would keep the interface clean while still providing the information when needed.

Additional context

Adding a save count to posts on Lemmy would help users quickly identify popular and valuable content. This feature would enhance the user experience and encourage more engagement with the platform.

Could that not be also achieved using the voting system? Personally, I don't see how the save counter would be useful in a way that isn't already covered by the score counter.
