How do I react or comment on news?

Use reactions and comments so announcements get feedback without starting a new channel thread.

Updated 2026-08-13

Open the story and use the reaction picker for a quick response, or leave a comment for anything that needs words.

Steps

  1. Open the news story.
  2. Click the reaction icon to add an emoji reaction, or the comment box to write a response.
  3. Post your comment — the author and other commenters are notified.

Tips

  • Reactions are the fastest way to acknowledge an announcement without adding noise — use comments when you actually have something to say.
  • Comments and reactions stay attached to the story permanently, so context isn't lost the way it can be in a fast-moving channel.
