Finding and connecting
Likes
Like an available public node, recognise your own choice and take it back from the node's menu.
A like records that you liked a public node. You can use it on an eligible web node as well as other public nodes. The action lives in the node's menu, with a heart beside it.
The menu shows your own choice as Like or Liked. It does not show a total or a list of other people who liked the node.
Like a node
- Sign in and find the public node on the canvas.
- Right-click the node to open its menu.
- Choose Like beside the heart.
The menu changes to Liked, with the row checked. Open the menu again when you want to check your current choice. The action is available through the same node menu used for the node's other controls; there is no separate like button to find on the preview picture.
For keyboard access, focus the node and use the Menu key or Shift+F10. Move to the Like row with the arrow keys and choose it with Enter. See keyboard shortcuts for navigating the canvas and its menus.
Take a like back
Open the same node's menu and choose Liked. This clears your like and returns the row to Like. You can choose Like again later if you change your mind.
Your choice concerns that node. Two separate web nodes can refer to the same website address and still be different nodes with their own Like actions. The web page's Everywhere discussion is another place to join the conversation about the address.
If Like is missing
Not every node can be liked. The action needs a signed-in account and an available, live node with a public room. Private nodes, adult-marked nodes and nodes that are no longer available do not offer it.
The menu also needs to load your current like state before it can offer the row. If it is missing on a node you expected to like, check your connection, close the menu and open it again. Seeing the node's title alone does not establish that all of its actions are available.
If the connection fails immediately after you choose Like or Liked, reopen the menu once the connection returns to check the saved state.
Likes, saved nodes and wall votes
Use Save node when your purpose is to keep a reference you can find again in Listr. Liking a node does not put a bookmark in that list or place the node on your canvas.
The thumbs on a wall are votes on individual posts and comments. Their counts belong to those posts. The heart in a node's menu records your like of the node itself, so a wall's vote count is not the node's like count.
The pictures and coloured marks beside people's names are identity marks and avatars. They help you recognise an account; they are not a count of likes. See identity marks and avatars for those pictures and badges.
