Is there a way to limit the reactions available depending on Group/TL? e.g. you get only the heart unless you are in the XYZ group in which case you can also make a ThumbsUp reaction.

Hi @Isambard 
I’m afraid that at the moment, you can’t restrict reactions to a group. Feel free to create a Feature request though

I believe this can possibly be accomplished to some extent using the CSS Classes for Current User's Groups theme component and some css conditionals, probably in an accompanying theme component.

oh I think this component might work for this to some extent

Hi Lilly. Thanks for your response. I think this would be helpful for some members who have been attacking other users by spamming their posts with negative emojis.
I’m still hoping for an extension which allows heart emoji by default and then opens up more reactions depending on group/TL.

Was this the original impulse behind your making this feature request last year? Were you able to get this issue under control on your site in the meantime?
It seems to me that if one or more members are making others feel unsafe through bad behavior in a community then it is up to the moderators to use moderator tools to bring them into line. Here on meta we typically start with a personal message to remind the member who is breaking the rules about the community guidelines. If the behavior continues then we give them a warning that they will be silenced or banned. And then finally if it doesn’t stop they can be silenced for a period or permanently, depending on the situation.

FWIW, although not my request, I can totally see this feature as a perk for more active users — or, to award members of a certain team the ability to put that team’s particular stamp on a post. Lots of possibilities!

This could also be handy for group specific categories as well. To mimic say Discord idea.
I like this! Could it be a plugin?
« Opening up » reaction types once a member has a certain mileage in the community would help keep things more bare-bones for people who are just arriving.
I personally love all the features that Discourse has for users and mods but getting it all in the interface upon arrival, particularly for non-technical users, can be a bit much.
(Drifting: there is a bit of this in how TL progression unlocks features but I think it could be taken a step further, particularly with the non-technical user on the lower end of the digital literacy continuum.)
