What is the difference between liking and bookmarking a club discussion?
A like and a bookmark are separate club-discussion actions. BSD returns a liked state, a bookmarked state and a likes count. Turning a like on or off changes the like state and count; the bookmark flag is independent. Neither action joins a club or verifies a pick.
For BSD readers comparing like and bookmark actions on a club discussion · Updated
A like is an engagement state with a count
The club action input distinguishes a like from a bookmark. BSD’s returned state includes whether you liked the discussion and the current likes count. Turning a like off reverses that reaction and changes the corresponding like state.
A bookmark has its own on-or-off state
Bookmarking is recorded separately from liking. The returned state includes a bookmarked flag, so bookmarking does not itself add a like or mean that you have reacted to the discussion. You can change the two action states independently.
Neither action changes club membership or pick verification
Like and bookmark describe engagement with a discussion. They are not club-join actions, capper follows or evidence that a pick is Verified on BSD. Read the returned fields only for the action states they represent.
Hypothetical example: changing one action at a time
A fictional reader turns on a like and a bookmark for one club discussion. Later, they turn the like off but leave the bookmark on. The returned liked state and likes count reflect the like change while the bookmarked state remains separate. This example makes no claim about ranking, privacy, rewards or membership.
