Does bookmarking a club discussion send the same notification as liking it?
They are different actions. In the referenced club action path, bookmark is stored as a saved action, while the like and unlike branch calls the notification adapter. That supports a narrow distinction for this source path; it does not prove bookmarks are invisible to every BSD feature, administrator, or analytics system, and it does not make a delivery promise.
For BSD readers choosing whether to save a club discussion or express a like · Updated
A bookmark saves; a like is the routed social reaction
The club action model stores bookmark and like as separate action kinds. In the referenced handler, changing a bookmark updates its saved action state. The notification adapter is invoked in the like/unlike branch, not as a general consequence of every action.
For the recorded free-club notification scope, the supported activity types are reply and like. Do not expand this narrow code-path observation into a claim about all notification categories or all internal uses of bookmark data.
- Use a bookmark when you want to save the discussion.
- A like is the reaction routed through the referenced notification source.
Do not infer more than the notification path shows
The code supports a comparison of these two action paths. It does not establish that bookmark activity is hidden from analytics, support, administrators, or other features. It also does not promise that every like becomes a delivered notification; eligibility and current access checks still apply.
This guide describes the source behavior, not an action screen, notification delivery guarantee, or paid-club feature.
Saving a discussion versus reacting to it
Imagine a fictional member bookmarks a free-club discussion to find it later, then separately likes another discussion. The referenced handler treats those as different actions and routes only the like/unlike action to its notification adapter. This does not make a claim about every record or system that may observe a bookmark.

Does a bookmark equal a like?
No. The source stores them as separate action kinds with different behavior.
Does the code prove bookmarks are invisible everywhere?
No. It only shows that this notification adapter is called from the like/unlike branch, not that other systems cannot use bookmark data.
