Gossip 0.9.0 shows quite a lot of such (above) reaction notes (kind 7) in my main feed. Inconvenient.
Aren't reactions supposed to only show as symbols/numbers below the reacted to note, as opposed to showing as a note of their own?
I have the setting for reactions enabled. But if I turn that off, that won't help with this right?
Reactions (kind 7) should not be shown as normal notes, but they are if somebody reposts the reaction or replies to the reaction... in which case I'm not sure what gossip should do.... how should I show a 'reposted reaction' or a thread where the parent is a reaction? These are weird cases.
If you really are getting all kind7 events showing up as UNSUPPORTED EVENT KIND 7, please let me know which version of gossip so I can debug this behavior I have never seen before.
Reposts of non kind 1s should have k tags right? So just don't fetch reposts of reactions.

Now I'm wondering: shouldn't it really depend on the individual preference of a user, which subselection of _all_ notes (from an identity they're following) they want to see in their feed?
The main reason why I stumbled upon these reaction notes is: they appear somewhat "empty" because the reacted to note isn't shown (at least by the version of Gossip I'm currently running). Thus they don't enrich the feed in a directly visible manner. I'd have to do several clicks to find out what they're about.
IF instead these reaction notes came with the reacted to note in some way attached to them, this probably wouldn't even have bothered me, because it'd have been "real" content with context: the identity I'm following liked/reacted to not some unknown note but this directly visible note here.
It seems like a legitimate use case (to me) for people to want to see the reaction notes of other identities.
Then the question is: wouldn't it be useful if the client allowed the user to configure whether reaction notes of followed identities are shown or not? The user might also want to configure this differently for each followed identity.
Seems to me, whenever such reaction notes are indeed shown, they should per default come _with_ the reacted to note as context, otherwise they just dilute the feed, because who wants to click on each and every one of them to only then find out what they're about?
Somewhat like a cryptic URL (youtube or anything) in a post without a title or other info that you first need to click on to find out, I don't think most people find that convenient.
Another thought: maybe the reaction notes of a followed identity could be fetched as an isolated feed (not mixed with the other notes) that'd be accessible from the profile page, just like the "View Their Posts" button.
This is just a bug. The reaction will be included on the post it reacts to once I fix the bug. But when it rains it pours and everybody is reporting bugs to me at the same time, so it'll be a few days.
I'm not going to do what amethyst does with reactions bringing a post back up in your inbox.
I opened an issue on github for this, but having just investigated this today, the bug I thought was causing this was fixed in early November before 0.9.0

I have not seen this behavior myself and since I cannot reproduce it I can't debug it.
