We now have a full suite of Emoji reactions :tada: - give them a spin!

Which emojis do you think we should have for Posts?
  • I prefer the simple :purple_heart:
  • Let’s keep the :+1: as it is awesome
  • Give me the full suite of emoji :clown_face: :clap: :tada:!
  • Something else (reply as text to this post)

We’ve had the full gamut of emojis available as reactions on Chat for a while, which of course has been more recently developed.

After a quite successful trial of :+1:, and some further development by Discourse of the plugin which enables reactions, it seems time to add a bit more colour here.

Do indicate in the poll above what you think of this. Or simply react to this post!

Well, we didn’t get a whole lot of answers to that poll above (there were more, but they got lost when the poll was refreshed) - but there certainly seems to be some level of interest in being able to show a wider range of emotion.

And now:

We can add more emojis if there is an obvious lack. In principle, I’d like to steer away from negative emojis though.
