Community posts now have five reactions, so you can see how your content lands

Members can now respond to a community post with one of five reactions instead of a single like: 👍 Like, ❤️ Love, 💡 Insightful, 🔥 Motivated, and 👏 Well done.

What changed

Every community post now has a reaction button that opens a small picker with all five options. Members pick the one that fits, and picking the same one again removes it. Each post shows the reactions it actually received alongside the total, so the mix is visible at a glance in the feed.

Tapping the count opens the full list of who reacted. You can filter it by reaction type, and each member's choice appears on their avatar, so you can see exactly who found a post insightful and who found it motivating.

Why this beats a single like

A like is a low-signal response. It tells you someone saw the post, but not what they took from it, and it flattens very different reactions into one number.

Five options let members say something more specific without writing a comment. A lesson recap that collects 💡 Insightful is doing a different job than an announcement that collects 🔥 Motivated, and now you can tell the two apart from the feed.

Getting value from it right away

There is nothing to configure or enable. Reactions are on for every community post, and every existing like has been kept as 👍 Like, so your history is intact and your counts are unchanged.

For creators, the reaction mix is a quick read on what your community responds to. A post that pulls 👏 Well done is worth repeating as a format; a post that pulls very little is worth rethinking before you make more like it.

Tell us how it works for you

This is a new addition to the community, and we would like to hear from creators using it. Are five reactions the right number? Are these the right five for your community? Let us know, and we will keep shaping it around how your members actually use it.

Availability

Reactions are available now on all Forento academies, both in your creator dashboard and in the member academy, and they are translated into every language Forento supports.
