Should reactions replace simple upvotes on replies?

PR Priya Nair 4 weeks ago

With reactions now available in Pro, I am wondering whether plain upvotes on replies still earn their keep. Reactions carry more nuance — heart, rocket, hooray.

Do you think both should coexist, or does that clutter the UI? Curious how others reason about this.

For what it is worth, the same approach works with the PMPro adapter — the membership side is identical from here.

Could you say more about how you measured the result? I want to try this but I am not sure what success would look like.

Great point. I had not considered the angle you raised in the second paragraph — it reframes the whole thing for me.

Appreciate the clear steps. The dry-run tip in particular saved me from a mistake I would not have caught otherwise.

Thanks for writing this up. Bookmarking it — the kind of thing I will want to reference again in a month.

Solid breakdown. The only thing I would add is to back up before making the change — better safe than sorry.

This is the answer I wish I had found six months ago. Would have saved me a weekend of trial and error.

This deserves more votes. It is a small change with an outsized impact on day-to-day use.

Tried this on a staging copy first and it behaved exactly as described. Confident enough to roll it to production now.

One caveat for larger communities: keep an eye on the indexes. At a few thousand rows the difference is night and day.

Adding a small note: the same idea applies on mobile, just with a bit more attention to tap targets.

Strong agree. Good defaults beat a wall of toggles every single time.
