New: Boosts - because sometimes a reaction isn't enough, but a reply is too much 🚀

[Donat (Dobri Donát)]

Hi everyone

We’ve introduced Boosts – a new way to react to others’ posts. It’s currently in beta!

The situation is familiar: you’re reading a great post, a good joke, and you want to give some feedback, but a reaction feels too meaningless, and opening a separate comment for it seems unnecessary. This is what Boosts are for.

How does it work? A button has appeared next to every post. You click/hover over it, choose an emoji or type a few words (max. 16 characters), and you’re done. The author of the post gets a notification, but the topic won’t pop up, and a new reply won’t open.

What to use it for? It’s good when you want to give feedback on a post, but instead of a full response, an emoji or a few words suffice. For a good tip, a funny comment, a nice photo, or anything that deserves a little extra reaction.

What it’s not? It’s not a reply, not a like, not a bump. It’s a small, personal piece of feedback that says just enough.

Feel free to try it out, boost each other’s posts, and let us know what you think about it!
