Site Suggestion: Reactions

subie • 10 May 2022 at 4:57 PM

Reactions to comments and posts are already a common feature on other sites where you can chat, post and share ideas with others, and I think it would be a super cool concept to implement on EggCave! I am unsure if this has been suggested here before, so apologies in advance if this is a duplicate thread.

There have been countless times where I've seen comments that I wish I could "like" or "love" as a quick and simple reaction.

To avoid any negative abuse of this system, these features can be used:
1. Users can only pick from a list of pre-determined emoticons to react with (eg. "heart" and "thumbs up")
2. Users are unable to react to their own posts.

Here is a rough idea of what this feature could look like...

@subie I could definitely see that being an enjoyable feature on this site! Thanks for including images 😊👍

@subie I think it's a great idea! It could also be very useful. People could react to creature/site suggestions, which might help to determine if the idea should be implemented. 😊

@subie
I think this would be really nice!
Another fun way for users to interact with others and the site.
