AI-generated summary
The “fast access to favorite reactions” feature allows users to quickly react to messages with their previously used reactions. This feature is part of the Discourse Chat and can be accessed by hovering over a message on desktop or clicking on a message on mobile. Falco explains that this feature allows for a 1-click fast reaction. Jagster confirms that the feature works on mobile devices, even without clicking, although Falco notes that clicking is required on some mobile devices.

That is under the “Chat” header, as it’s a feature of Introducing Discourse Chat (PRE-ALPHA)
Now you can hover over a message and it will show your last reactions for a 1-click fast reaction.
