these are a really easy way to boost your story engagement, with significant impact within a day, and they go a lot further than the ♥️ reaction.

unfortunately, they can also be straight up annoying since they go to dms and clog those up, and stuff can get lost in between them 😅 (i don’t have notifications on for instagram but i imagine they could be irriating on that front too)

i don't mind doing them for people once a day, so if you want me to do this for you, just initiate by emoji-reacting to every story and i’ll do the same whenever i sign on.

(don't stress which reaction you use for this, i use 👏 pretty much all the way through and if i accidentally hit 😂 on a 😢 post, sorry, i have fat and occasionally shaky fingers.)

you could try to set up a pod of a few friends who have agreed to boost each other’s stories with emoji reactions. ideally you want a 3-5 people who are already all following each other. you’re welcome to share this page with other people by the way, i mean, i did put it on the internet, so it’s not like its a secret.
