Comments and reactions
Likes, bookmarks and threaded comments - how readers respond to a post, mentioning someone, and where your saved reading list lives.
Every published post carries the same three responses, on a rail beside the article.
Likes#
One per reader, and reversible. A public signal that the post was worth reading.
Bookmarks#
A reader saving the post for themselves. Bookmarks are private - the author sees the count, never who.
Yours live in Saved blogs, which is a genuine reading list rather than a vanity number.
Comments#
Threaded: readers comment, and anybody can reply to a comment. Comments can be edited and deleted by whoever wrote them.
Mentioning somebody with @ and their username notifies them and links to their profile - the
way to bring a person into a thread rather than hoping they see it.
Emoji are available from the picker in the composer.
Comments on your own post#
You are notified when somebody comments. Replying as the author is worth doing - a question answered in the thread helps every later reader, and it is the difference between a post and a conversation.
Reporting something#
If a comment breaks the rules rather than merely disagreeing with you, report it rather than getting into it. Genuinely abusive content is an account matter, not a moderation preference - see getting help.
What "breaks the rules" means is not a judgement call we make case by case - it is the community guidelines.
