Liking original post

[GreenTealael 25,523]

I have a question for all posters and participants, when someone posts and you participate or respond to it do you "like" the original post or not? Does anyone know if it affects community ratings or if the topic trends?

I am going to like your post and maybe you can check it?

I usually do because on some level it usually does do,mevsome benefit. And later if something strange happens I can say to myself " Hmm Tealael posted about that, she made her way through and I just bet I can too!" So as a routine if it helped me in any way I award it a Like Emoji. And a few times it has prompted me to start a thread on something in this journey I have questions about or Something that made sense to me that I think might help others.

I do. If I read the post and like it I push the little heart icon. If someone responds to a posters question and I like or agree with what they have said I push the heart. If I really love what they said, or I think they have the best answer to a question I push the trophy icon.

I don’t use the confused icon. I use the laughing one if something is really funny.

I think you get points in the store for the hearts and stuff, but I’m not for certain.

I have no clue how to check, maybe I will ask website support

I'm trying to figure out how things are filtered up to trending, why I see the same types of post even though I don't search for them or participate in them and mostly if its just bad manners to neglect to acknowledge the OPs efforts.

I think it’s the number of responses/recent responses that sends a post to trending, not the number of likes. I’m not for certain though. I’ve never thought about it.

I'm going to run another search before I ask website support, they seem busy...

I wondered about this, too.
