Hm...I doubt that would work anyways.
The problem with that is that likes where also removed on the server side, so they wouldn't be stored in any db. (I aasume. I don't have access to the Snap!Cloud or Forum internals.)
That makes sense. But what about the people who still have like data in their profile?
That's because the likes were given before the likes were disabled on the forum, since they're used to be enabled but now disabled.
There is still a db, it's just read-only. (again, I think.)
Just to clear things up, they were originally disabled, but then at some point, the snap team decided to try likes out. That's where the likes data you're seeing on some people's profiles is from.
I doubt adding likes via inspect element would work, as likes were disabled in the forum software (not removed, there's just a toggle in discourse), which should also reject requests to add or remove likes.
tldr; there's no way to like a post, and there likely won't ever be (unless the snap team decides to try them out again). If you want to like a post, like a post in your head. Don't reply with "+1" as that takes up space, and no one cares (and it's against the forum rules), but instead reply with constructive criticism (or feedback) about what you like about that thing someone did.
And as Brian has said before...yeah. Like Counts, they're just a number. Numbers don't tell you much in the realm of social aspects of life (if that makes sense?)
If you get 10 likes on a post, good for you. That doesn't instantly put you in a higher tier with other programmers who are slightly better. Look - we're all human, we all learn a different way, it's alright if your project doesn't look as good as, I don't know, some full First Person 3D Minecraft Clone here in Snap!. Your projects are going to be good.
Hmm, I tried to get rid of those, but there's no way to do it. :~(
greatttttttttttttttttttttt؟
Da heck?
irony sign
Never heard of it.
It's Unicode U+2E2E, REVERSED QUESTION MARK. Know it huh⸮
i used ؟ U+061F ARABIC QUESTION MARK
Ok.
It's making a post request to the wrong endpoint, which is why it would never work
EDIT: DO NOT TRY TO MAKE IT POINT TO THE SNAP FORUM DB (trust me)
