How to React to a Post

Reactions let you respond to a post with Like, Love, Haha, Dislike, or Share (and sometimes View for tracking). You can add or change your reaction.

In the app (UI)​

  1. Open a post in your feed or on a profile.
  2. Under the post, find the reaction area (e.g. Like, Comment, Share).
  3. Add a reaction:
    • Click Like for a quick like, or
    • Click and hold (or hover) the like/reaction control to open the reaction picker (Like, Love, Haha, Dislike, etc.), then choose one.
  4. Change your reaction: Open the reaction picker again and select a different type; your previous reaction is replaced.
  5. Remove your reaction: Click your current reaction again (or use the same icon) to remove it.

Reaction counts are shown next to the controls; you may see “You and X others” when you’ve reacted.

Via the API​

Add or change reaction on a post:

POST /api/Post/{postId}/reactions
Authorization: Bearer {token}
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "type": "like"
}

Allowed type values typically include: like, love, haha, dislike, share. Use the same endpoint with a different type to change your reaction.

Remove reaction:
Use the remove endpoint (e.g. DELETE /api/Post/{postId}/reactions or api/Reaction as documented). See Reactions feature.

React to a comment:
Use the Reaction API with targetType: "Comment" and targetId set to the comment ID. See Reactions feature.
