Describe the bug I assume that a user should be able to leave one emoji-reaction (like in other socialmedia) per post. So that when there are 100 reactions 100 people reacted to it. Currently I am able to give kind of infinit amount of emoji-reactions.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to any post
  2. Click on heart symbol and select a emoji
  3. Click on heart symbol again and select a new emoji
  4. Result: post has two reactions now.

Expected behavior I can select one emoji. And when I select another then it should switch to this one and not add to it.

Video and Screenshots If applicable, add a video and/or screenshots to help explain your problem.

Device (please complete the following information):

Have you noticed that you can deselect a previous reaction?

The way it is designed makes it possible to leave just one emoji... Or multiple.

freemyminde commented 3 months ago

Yes this I have noticed. But to me this seems unintuitive. Shouldn't the number of reactions be an espression of how many users react to a post? Similar to a like button to display a posts popularity.?

davotoula commented 3 months ago

To be honest I haven't checked the nostr protocol around reactions.

But I suspect it's a flexible modern protocol that allows flexibility like this and nostr clients take advantage of using it?

Nostr is not about replicating traditional social media, it's a new experience.

Also note that it's free and easy to create thousands of "accounts" and like posts.

Reactions are ultimately not a measure of "how many actual people have liked" something.

freemyminde commented 3 months ago

Yes but this is kind of true of most socialmedia. I just state that this is an issue. And if there is no good solution to show popularity. How would you find popular posts?

davotoula commented 3 months ago

Knowing that it is cheap to create new identities in nostr one cannot simply rely on "likes". A more robust algorithm is needed.

Data Vending Machines (dvm) is a novell concept in nostr.

Check out the Note Discovery tab in amethyst.

Or write your own algorithm.

Thank you very much for the discussion. Then probably zaps are rather the real likes, since they are at least bond to value.

I think I know more now. And for me this issue can be closed when no further questions to this topic come up.
