Not a frequent use-case, but I just like to say thank you to a bunch of other community members who left a reply to one of my comments. I’m asking not because I’m lazy. Well - ok, partially because of that. But leaving a ‘Thank you, Mate’ to everyone individually just adds overhead without any information. Any suggestions in how to to that?

    I’d consider that spam, it doesn’t add anything to the conversation and some people go by comment count to know if a post’s comment section has something interesting or if they’ll have time to dive into it, so if you only have top level comments then you’re basically doubling the comments without actual meaningful information.
    The way to show a simple “Thank you” is an upvote.

    If you’re feeling magnanimous then update your post with a “Edit: thank you all for your responses”

      When 100 people in reddit would post the same obvious and unfunny joke without bothering to see if it had already been posted 99 times, it was incredibly frustrating.

      Sliiightly less frustrating when at least people are trying to be helpful, but yeah, still up there.
