React to a post

Adding a reaction is a couple of clicks. Changing or removing one costs the same, which is the part most people miss.

Add a reaction

  1. Open a supported page - a Reddit post, a YouTube video, a GitHub repository, an Amazon product.
  2. Look for the Emojery button in the row the site already uses for Like, Star, Share or Vote. It shows a single πŸ™‚ until somebody reacts, then the top 3 emoji and the running total.
  3. Click it. The picker opens on your recently used emoji and a Popular row.
  4. Click an emoji. The first time you ever react, Emojery asks you to sign in with a provider; after that it just counts.
The Emojery picker open on a YouTube video, listing the reactions people left with their counts
The panel that opens on the button: the running ranking first, the full palette under it.

Change it

One reaction per item per account, so picking a second emoji replaces the first rather than adding to it.

  1. Open the picker again on the same item.
  2. Click a different emoji. Your old one comes off the total and the new one goes on.

Take it back

  1. Open the picker on the item you reacted to.
  2. Click the emoji you already picked - it is the highlighted one. Clicking it again toggles it off and the total drops by 1.

Buttons appear as you scroll

On a long feed Emojery does not mount a button on every post at once. It waits until a post is near the part of the page you are reading. Scrolling down brings more buttons with it, which is what keeps a 200-post feed fast.

What other people see

The same 3 emoji and the same total, on the same item, whoever opens it. Nobody sees who picked what: there is no list of reactors, and the API has no endpoint that could produce one.

Reactions attach to the page rather than to a conversation, so a link you send someone carries them.
