What is happening to our ‘likes’? I am losing mine!!

Hi @Alex Brecher

Any idea what is happening to our ‘likes’? You were looking into why we are sometimes getting a refusal to let us like posts.

But there is more! - as well as people commenting ‘I can’t like your post but I do like it’, I see that 9 people liked my post yesterday, three liked others this morning - but my ‘like total’ is 20 or 30 down on where it was!! I am LOSING my treasured likes! Oh no! And I think @FluffyChix’likes’ total is declining too! (I don’t remember any other person’s totals)

I love using the wee button to acknowledge posts that help me. And I treasure getting likes, seeing the tally rise - because to me they mean I am making contributions someone appreciates. I was stoked when my ‘likes’ were nearly 50 more than my post total. My daily like score has become second in importance to my daily weight score in this journey! So losing them? Well, imagine if you will that the software here is packing my pounds back on and you sorta get the drift of the feeling!!!?

Any closer to understanding why?

Thanks, boss...

And ladies and Ken yesterday the 7th I had no likes credited but a happy group of 9 followers, today they have floated into the ether.

I clicked on your page and you still have 9 followers...

Dayum, how on earth do you guys know how many likes you get in a day? *scratches head and trusts she won't have to remove her shoes to figure daily like count*

@Apple203 yeah something. odd here checked earlier, nada, so I post and I came back,and here they are again. Perhaps,Mark Zuckerberg, Ken S or Alex B can explain this transitory,nature. Scared they will float off again. Could ask the friendly nerghbood hacker, they're always around lurking.

Do you use app or website? On the website, your profile appears to the left of your posts. It starts with your handle, then a circle with your fluffychick pic, then ‘gastric bypass’ then ‘+3,879’ (total likes) and then ‘3,367 posts’ - then a gap and your profile. Also, your likes go in notifications - as in “someone reacted to a post on “out with the old in with the new” 1 hour ago’ or similar.

You are my inspiration. I strive to have more likes than posts, like you do - so I feel like I am net giving to others, not just taking. I also make sure I like posts I appreciate with a heart, or emoji.

Oh! Derp! Dayum, you gotta use that new math and do counting? :blush:

But TY - your one of my inspirations! Girl you are doing so wonderfully and are so caring and helpful!!! Wish I could like your posts a gazillion times! I'd vote early and vote often. And yes, I agree. I LOVE hitting the heart or laugh button! I do wish the wonky eyed button didn't mean confused. Cuz I love it too. :D It should say something like, "Whah???" or Something! ha! (I'm on desktop.)
