kossaisomething which do miss from cohost right now - most days would wake up to see that posts from day before have some form of interaction . not that numbers is what aim for , but just know that people around and people acknowledge , right ?
but do not really get that here unless people comment , and ... comments tend to be more rare , even on places like cohost which explicitly try to encourage .
and can understand that , really - not everything warrant discussion and chip in with thoughts , necessarily . or there might be cases in which just do not know enough about subject to try and put together comment , so would prefer stay quiet .
but ... still miss that ability for people to quickly acknowledge .
of course also understand this is not part of dreamwidth design features for good reason , so not to say that dreamwidth should change . guess just sort of adjustment pains - and feel sort of like hypocrite when kossai also do not comment very much .
maybe should test out little heart comments or something ...? or even , people who miss this kind of feature could make little comment policies - if OK to leave these kind of " pseudo-likes " , just hearts or single words or whatever .

I used to leave the little cohost "yeah" custom emoji as a comment response on comments that I liked but had nothing to add to there, since there was no way to "like" comments there (unlike actual posts). I don't mind if you do something like that with my journal in the place of a "like" button, and if you'd like me to do the same with yours I certainly will.
Don't know how to make that readily obvious in posting, but I'll brainstorm something. Maybe a banner or button to put on the intro post to say "This user accepts emote-only comments as 'likes'"? Dunno. Worth pondering.

👍 Leave a Like! ❤️
Don't have much to say, but want to show appreciation? Feel free to leave a single-emoji comment (🙂, 👍, ❤️, or whatever!) to let me know you like what you see!no subject
