it doesn’t even have to display a like count is what i’m saying
besides any sort of metric is essentially meaningless bc this is an us only thing and not public, we’re not trying to push for engagement
i feel weird sometimes posting about something completely different and unrelated without acknowledging a post that came before me bc it feels like i’m just ignoring what was posted beforehand. and sometimes i don’t have any specific comment to make, but i want to show my appreciation of the post regardless
but at the end of the day this is just a suggestion

ahh yeah i getcha. i agree, but i think we just have to trust each other that we are reading each other's posts :) id rather convince myself that my friends see my posts and then talk about it irl than eagerly await a notification that someone saw my post.. (the less notifications the better imo) i don't mean to strike down ur suggestion btw i think you have good intentions, i agree with you this site is not meant to be engagement-driven so imo it shouldn't have engagement patterns like likes. idk i think for me this is a social media to get off social media, so if i check it less that's kind of a win because ultimately i want to use my phone as little as possible haha. right now i check my phone, read a couple posts on here and then stop using my phone, it's perfect 🥹🥹

tldr sometimes i feel like more diverse ways of expressing our opinions would be nice but we can workshop it
