Loves, comments, reshares and saves explained
Love shows appreciation and is counted publicly. Comment replies in a thread under the post. Reshare copies it to your own feed and tells the author. Save keeps it in your Saved tab, privately.
The four actions
| Action | What happens | Who sees it |
|---|---|---|
| Love | The count goes up and you appear in the list of people who loved it | Everyone |
| Comment | Your reply is added to the thread under the post | Everyone |
| Reshare | A copy lands on your own feed and the author is notified | Everyone |
| Save | It goes to your Saved tab | Only you |
