It's now certain. I can see likes on certain posts, not all of them now. Why is this?

si funciona.

I hate X. I hate using X and I hate calling it X. This is a must have for anyone who is tired of god awful and ugly bland corporate minimalist logos and phone app UI. There is only one problem with it and I hope the dev reads this because I'm too lazy to make a github account. Can you possibly readd the ability to add gifs to your post? I know it's a new feature but it's one of the only GOOD ones that the website implimented. It makes replying so much easier. I would love to see it in a future update
