@thor I agree, but that's not that function's problem, it's our problem. As always, there is no technological solution for the social problem.
It's about community and I think this place is about right as is, people here rarely go into pursuit of likes more often make fun of it, e.g.: https://mastodon.world/@comicslibrarian/109701336999600676
If collecting likes is your thing you'll most probably pick other social media with wider user base anyway 🤷
