Reacting to a post

You can react to any post you can read, including your own and posts in closed threads. You have one reaction per post.

  1. Click Like under the post.

    A post's reactions, with the Like button circled

The button turns blue and shows your reaction, and the post’s summary now counts you.

  1. Press and hold Like at the bottom right of the post. After a moment the reactions pop up above it, and you can let go.

    The reactions popped up above the Like button: Like, Love, Haha, Wow, Sad and Angry
  2. Click the reaction you want.

    The post with Love picked: the button reads Love and the summary reads You and 4 others

On a phone or tablet it works the same way: press and hold the button, then tap the reaction.

The reactions popped up above the button on a phone

Pick a different reaction the same way, and it replaces your old one. You never have more than one reaction on a post.

Click your reaction under the post - the blue button - and it’s gone. Picking the same reaction again from the pop-up does the same.

Tab to the button and press Enter to like the post (or take your reaction back). Press the up arrow to open the reactions, the left and right arrows to move between them, and Enter to pick one. Escape closes them.
