# Comments and yaps

Every token on Kumbaya has its own comment thread. We call posts in those threads **yaps**. This is where most of the conversation, memeing, and community-building happens.

## Posting a yap

On any token's page, the **Thread** (or **Comments**) tab shows the active conversation. To post:

1. Click the input box at the top of the thread.
2. Type your message. The input is a plain text field, so any **emoji** you can pull from your system's keyboard (⌘⌃Space on macOS, Win+. on Windows) works inline.
3. Optionally **attach media** with the paperclip / attach icon. Supported formats:
   * Images: **JPG**, **PNG**, **WebP**, **GIF**
   * Video: **MP4**, **MOV** (QuickTime)
4. Optionally reply to a specific post by clicking the reply icon on it (or typing `>>postNumber` in your message - see below).
5. Optionally toggle **Anon mode** on the composer (the small Anon-mascot icon) - see [**Anonymous posting**](#anonymous-posting) below.
6. Hit submit. Sign the action in your wallet if prompted.

## Anonymous posting

Each yap can be posted **as Anon** instead of under your profile. Toggle the Anon icon in the composer before submitting; the post will appear with the Kumbaya Anon mascot instead of your avatar and name. The on-chain action still comes from your wallet, but the displayed identity is anonymised at the UI level. The first time you switch on Anon mode, a one-time modal explains how it works.

If you'd rather not see Anon posts at all, the thread has a **hide Anon** toggle that filters them out of your view. Other users still see them; this is a personal display preference, not a moderation action.

## Replying - the `>>postNumber` syntax

Yaps are numbered sequentially per token (post #1, #2, #3 …). You can reference any earlier post by typing `>>` followed by its number - for example `>>14`. The reference renders as a clickable link, and the post you referenced gets a "replied to" indicator.

This 4chan-style threading lets long conversations stay coherent without nesting indefinitely.

## Likes, dislikes, tips

Every yap can be:

* **Liked** - a thumbs-up signal.
* **Disliked** - a thumbs-down signal.
* **Tipped** - sent tip credits. See [**Tipping**](/social-features/tipping.md).

Likes/dislikes affect what gets surfaced as trending; tips go directly to the poster's wallet.

## What gets surfaced

The thread sort defaults to chronological with active replies bumped, but trending mechanisms can pull a particularly liked or tipped yap toward the top of the token's page.

## Etiquette

* Stay on theme with the token's prompt - that's what people are here for.
* Posts with original media tend to attract tips.
* Spam, low-effort replies, and obvious shill posts get downvoted fast.
