Liking a post

A like is the simplest way to tell someone you appreciated their post. It's a small gesture and it adds up.

How to like

Every post has a small heart icon in the action bar at the bottom-left (no thumbs-up — just the heart). Click it once. The heart fills in with red, and the count next to it goes up by one.

How to unlike

Click the heart again. Your like is removed and the count drops by one.

Who can see your likes

The author of the post gets a notification under the bell icon. Above the action bar on every post is a small row that reads something like "Alex, Sam, and 3 others liked this" — anyone reading the post sees those names. Clicking N others in that row opens a full list of everyone who liked it. (Tapping the numeric count next to the heart itself doesn't do anything — use the names row above instead.)

Liking comments

You can also like a comment under a post. Same heart icon, same idea.

Why bother

Posts with no likes can feel like they fell flat — even if many people read and enjoyed them. A click takes a second and tells the author the post landed. Especially worth it for first-time posters.

Don't like everything

If you like every single post, the signal stops meaning anything. Use it for the ones you actually appreciated.
