Solved Plz add more reactions!

Hi all (especially mods)!
I was wondering if you could add more reactions to this site. I am on another forum that is pretty similar to this one and it has a ton of good reactions that come in hardy all the time. Here is a picture of the reactions:
From left to right: Like, Love, Haha, Cool, Agree, Wow, Sad, Informative, Clapping, Optimistic, Hug, Welcome, Creative, Thanks.

I think that it would be helpful if you guys could add some of these. Agree, wow, and thanks are very useful. Thanks for hearing me out!

I think a confused emojis would be useful too! Like when you don't understand what someone means!

One I would like to see added is informative. ℹ

Thanks for the feedback and discussion / ideas!

We want to limit the reactions to VERY specific and distinctly separate emotions. There shouldn't be any ambiguity in what a reaction means. This is why we will always have a very limited set of reactions, but a larger variety of emoji's.

That said, there are some reactions we might consider adding... like one that conveys "care/support" and "informative".

A “care” emoji like Facebook would be helpful. So many times there are no words to express condolences, but I went the person to know their pain has been read.

Oooo. That is a good one to add.

From a tablet or computer you can do this too, just start typing!

maybe a confused one would be nice!

We probably wouldn't add this as it's more appropriate to reply to the thread / post with a specific request for more information / details and specifically what about the post was confusing. Just showing confused doesn't really help get us to a better place of understanding.

I want to agree with that.

The "like" button is a perfect proxy for "agree".

I go back and forth. I like the simplicity of having a simple "heart" reaction to work for "love" and "care". I think having both the existing one and a heart has too much crossover.... as would having either of those and also a "care" one. I want as few and distinct reactions as possible.

So, I'm leaning towards changing to a heart to be uses as "love" and/or "care", and also a reaction for "Informative" that could be used for really helpful "question answering" posts.
