ChrisVanMeer Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Hi, I couldn't find a plugin that does this, but I think it would be nice if you would be to able to give a reaction to a particular post from (any of) the Stream view(s). I did a Photoshop mockup to show you what I mean.
Joel R Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 I'm personally not opposed to this idea, but I doubt we will ever see this. Activity Streams are meant for content discovery, not for content interaction. IPS made that clear when they introduced the concept. Activity Streams are basically filtered results from search, pulled from the search database. You can show the existing reactions, but you probably won't be able to add reactions without some impact to search performance.

IPS could really make something great with the activity stream if they treated it more like a social feed instead of a filtered search list with lipstick.
Joel R Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 1. I recommend Social Stream by @HeadStand 2. You can provide feedback to IPS, who I just don't see doing a social stream alternative since they make forums. 3. You can privately commission one. I've seen one on an IPS website that's very well done.
