React to comments and messages

Answer a comment or a message with an emoji, and see who else did.

Sometimes a reply is too much and a like isn't enough. Comments on items, posts and long reads, and messages, all take emoji reactions.

How to do it

  1. On a phone, press and hold a comment's words or a message's bubble. On a computer, point at it and click React.
  2. Pick one from the quick row: thumbs up, heart, fire, laughing, wow or thanks.
  3. Your reaction shows as a chip under the comment or message, with its count. Tap someone else's chip to add the same one, or tap your own to take it back.
  4. To see who reacted, press and hold a chip, or rest your pointer on it. Who reacted opens beside it.
  5. Running a band? In the band's Messages under Manage, your reactions on a fan's message are the band's. The fan sees the band's name, never yours. Under comments, you react as yourself.

Good to know

  • Reacting needs a confirmed email. You can add several different reactions to one comment or message, one of each.
  • A message in Requests takes reactions once you accept the conversation.
  • On comments, Who reacted counts private collectors without naming them.
  • Reactions to your comments and messages reach you quietly: a line in the bell, never a push. Change that under Settings, Notification settings, Reactions, where you can also add them to your weekly digest.
  • A band's own posts have their own row under them: Like, Fire and Wow, one pick each.
