Could likes on my posts show up somewhere?
It would be nice to be able to easily tell when a post I've made somewhere is resonating with people. Likes are the less engaged version of engagement but still nice to know about. Could they show on my Posts list in my profile maybe?




I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean getting a notification of it? They do show up on your posts.
We've actually discussed having notifications of likes several times, but couldn't figure out how to do it without getting annoying. If we notify you every time, that would just piss people off. But how do we figure out what the right thresholds are? In a small community, five likes might be a lot, but as we grow, in a really large community 100 might be pretty average and 1,000 could be a lot. Do we only give you the one notification at 5 likes, or do we keep giving you notifications every time you get 5 more likes? Then that runs into the same annoying problem as before, but if we don't, it seems pretty weird if you only get one notification of likes and then no more ever again, because it might seem like you never got any more likes. Etc. So... we decided not to do that at all. :P
Rather than having notifications for upvotes (dear heavens, please NO!) why not show them on your list of posts under your profile like so, as @Magess suggested?
I don't need to see everybody's little user icons anyway. They're not always identifiable when they're so teeny and squished together.
Huh, I actually didn't realize/remember that they weren't there. That's definitely doable.
They show up on my posts if I go to the community to hunt my posts down. They don't show up on my Profile list of posts, which is quickly becoming the easiest place for me to keep track of things (even though it takes several clicks to get there).
If you could include the Likes on the Profile posts list, then I could at least see what people are doing.
I don't think there are currently enough activities that people can perform on posts that an Activity Feed like tumblr would make sense.
I think making it optional would be best for me. I don't want to get addicted to checking if I have likes (or hearts or whatever you call them here).
I'd enjoy it if likes showed up in notifications or something - I'd want them easily dismissible, though. Maybe bundled? Not sure.
