How do reactions work?
Press and hold the reaction button under any post in Discover to open the reaction picker, then slide to Big Up 🔥, Vibes 🌴, Respect 🙌, I'd Lime 🎉 or Proper 💯. A quick tap applies your last reaction. You can change or remove your reaction at any time, and each member counts once per post.

| 🎉 I'd Lime | You would be there. |
| 💯 Proper | It is exactly right. |

Reactions are not likes
Reactions do not rank posts or feed an algorithm; Discover stays in chronological order. Counts are shown per reaction so authors can see how their work landed. The heart icon elsewhere in the app is for saving events, not reacting.
