I recently read a funny comment and wanted to give it the 😂 reaction like I would on a Telegram post, but upvoted instead. Reddit had upvoting downvoting but wondering if Lemmy, being an open source innovative software, should evolve past the upvote downvote and allow for a wide range of emoji reactions to a post.
That sounds a bit like a support question, and also up votes and downvotes aren’t just there for appearance, they have an impact on post ordering. Emoji reactions wouldn’t be a replacement for that, if anything it would be more like reddit’s award system.
