What new post reactions would you like?

the only new permanent post reaction iā€™d really like to see is some sort of hug or care one. i think it would really come in handy for reacting to posts in the ā€œwhatā€™s bothering you?ā€ thread, or just while interacting with others on the forum. iā€™ve been ā€œlikingā€ and ā€œlovingā€ peopleā€™s posts in the wby thread to let them know that iā€™ve read their post and that i care, but it still makes me feel a little weird to ā€œlikeā€ or ā€œloveā€ something thatā€™s upsetting someone, lol.

i know staff were thinking about adding this sort of react during the last bell tree direct, and i really hope they do eventually! i think ā€œšŸ«‚ā€ or even ā€œšŸ§øā€ would be perfect for it.

i also wouldnā€™t be opposed to some sort of celebratory or congratulatory react, like ā€œšŸŽ‰ā€ or something.

the people (me) want this as a reaction to convey concern.
 
We definitely need celebratory šŸŽ‰ and caring šŸ«‚ reactions the most, as there's plenty of posts around the forum that could use them. For me, I think a hands up šŸ™Œ reaction could be useful as well if someone makes an excellent point regarding something and you want to give them props. A fire šŸ”„ could be utilized as well if someone finds a post cool.

I was going to suggest a laughing šŸ˜† one, but realized that could be used in harmful ways, and it's probably best if that's left unutilized.
 
šŸ«‚ and šŸŽ‰ make perfect sense but silly me wants the squid šŸ¦‘ emoji. What will it do? Nothing. I like squids.
 
I kinda want a šŸ’”

Personally, I would go around šŸŒøing things. Maybe for cherry blossom season? šŸ‘€
 
We need a hugging/condolences reaction. I can think of so many situations where this could be useful. Heart reacting a post where someone's family member dies feels wrong but at the same time, you want to acknowledge it and show you care. I can't see any negative coming from implementing this.
 
The hugging reaction would be really useful for the What's Bothering You? thread, especially when offering condolences for the passing of a beloved one.

Also, there should be a birthday cake reaction that we should all be able to use whenever it is the birthday of any member.
 
The reaction I want most is šŸŽ‰
There is just nothing better than celebrating with others about something good that happened to them/for them with confetti.
