now that i think of it, can bonfire not follow mastodon on the ''like'' = star thing?lol

everytime i click on it i have years of star= favorite bookmark taught by internet in the brain

a bonfire is a fire sooooooooooooooo, maybe a fire reaction? no likes, only hyped fires 😁

for sure what helps me to engage is the comments number. that works for me more than any other stat, cause i see there is a discussion i can learn from and eventually engage in.

anyway maybe you could put a little counter on or under every of the buttons that are already there?

like:

• under or on the right of the reply button, the number of the replies already there
• under or on the right of the repost button, the number of the repost already made and you can see who did it by clicking on it
  etc etc
