   @jonny @clacke
   Ahaha I love that we can just check the source code for this kind of questions!!!
   I guess this specific functionality could still be implemented somewhere else though no? Like some other function that checks the “favorite” status of a post? 🤷

     @clacke
     That’s very interesting! (I assume by like you mean “favorite”) I always thought favorites were just between you and the post author and had no other influence.
     @jonny did you know about this? ⤴️

     @elduvelle @jonny Yes, like, favorite, star, react, whatever your fediware of choice calls it. 🙃
     
     Except bookmark. I'm pretty sure bookmark doesn't have any external effects.

     Another point on the value of liking comments:
     
     When you like a comment, that comment will federate to the instances of your followers. If someone happens to go look at the conversation they will see that comment even if nobody is following that commenter and nobody that someone on that instance is following replied to that comment. Your like is a semi-visible pseudo-comment.
