AI-generated summary
The discussion focuses on implementing a “like limit” to prevent users from liking posts too quickly. PeterPalov suggests this feature to avoid notification spam when users rapidly like multiple posts. awesomerobot clarifies that a daily like limit exists, but PeterPalov is looking for a rate-limit to control likes in a single thread. Jagster proposes a “cooling down rate” as a possible solution. However, blattersturm suggests coalescing multiple like notifications from the same user or post into one, rather than restricting user actions. Falco notes that this coalescing feature already exists for multiple likes on the same post or different posts from the same user.
We do have a daily limit of likes, that’s controlled by the setting max likes per day… but it sounds like what you’re asking for is more of a rate-limit? Are you running into problems where some people are liking too many posts too quickly? Can you describe the problem a little more?
Well sometimes people like posts too fast and that annoyns. For example, I want to check my other nofications but the like nofication spams. I know, there is a way to not to get nofications from likes, but I think there should also be a like limit which won’t let you like fast in one thread, or something like this.
Something like cooling down rate?
Yeah, something like that.
Instead of restricting what users can do, coalescing multiple like notifications on the same topic or post, or from the same user into one might be a better suggestion?
We also have a few cases where users like a lot of posts from another user a bunch (badge hunting?) and I can see that this can be annoying in the notification list.
We already coalesce multiple like notifications on the same post from different users and from the same user on different posts ![]()
