The other forums I frequent offer a variety of emojis to “like” a post with. Hearing Tracker only offers the heart emoji. While I appreciate that a limited choice helps avoid the possibility of negative “likes” or mocking “likes,” I think it would be possible to offer a wider gamut of positive emoji. The Microsoft Flight Simulator forum is also a Discourse software-based forum and they’ve instituted a handful of emoji, some of which are only appropriate to an aircraft simulator/gaming forum. Maybe we could have a discussion in this thread about what additional emoji forum members might like to have available on Hearing Tracker. I’d be for the “really love” emoji (hearts in emoji eyes), a grinning or mildly amused emoji to indicate humor appreciation (but not an ROFL emoji, more likely to be used in a negative way), and a “sad” emoji to indicate empathy with someone who has had a bad experience.
Here are the MSFS emoji, just to indicate that Discourse forum offers a choice:
