Why can’t we see all the reaction emojis

I’d like to see the emojis that show reactions to posts. I can only see ones on my posts. If we could see everyone’s there would probably be fewer repeat comments as everyone could just ‘agree’ also I could skim read the too many posts on a thread and single out the funny ones for a proper read.

It to encourage people to be honest, and not follow popular opinions. That said it would be handy for the OP to know which responses people were most interested in.

I would say lots of people aren’t honest on threads -eg all the ones where everyone posting agrees with the op but the AIBU vote is actually 50/50 or a recent one 70/30 - emojis would help and would shorten threads which would be a big +

Mumsnet want people to post, they don’t want threads to be shorter.

I think it's a good thing that we can't see the reactions to posts when a thread is still live, I wonder if it would be feasible for that to change so that the reactions are published when a thread is closed after it reaches a thousand posts?

I think it would encourage pile-ons and inappropriate use of the "laugh" reaction.
It's good to have the option to use the emoji buttons to avoid replies that just say "thanks" or "I agree" and that don't add much to the conversation, but if you disagree with someone you either scroll on by or reply to them.

When I add emojis to my posts they don’t show?
