# Commenting on and managing community posts

Use the controls below a post to comment, react, repost, share, or report it. Comments appear in one list beneath the post rather than in nested threads.

## Add a comment

1. Select **Write a comment** beneath the post.
2. Enter your reply. Type **@** to mention a person, organization, or animal.
3. Add media with the photo button if needed.
4. Select **Send comment**.

Mention the person you are answering when the conversation is busy, because comments are not nested. You can react to a comment with an emoji. Select the number beside an existing emoji to see who reacted; select the emoji itself to add or remove that reaction for your account. You can delete a comment you wrote from **Comment actions**.

## Repost or share

Select the repost button when you want the original post to appear inside a new post with your commentary. Select the share button when you want to copy or send a link instead.

## Report a post or comment

1. Open the post's or comment's actions menu.
2. Select **Report** for a post or **Report comment** for a comment.
3. In **What should moderators know?**, describe the issue with the post or comment.
4. Select **Submit report**.

Your explanation goes to Creatures moderators. Reporting does not hide or remove the post or comment from your view, and Creatures does not display a public moderation result.

## What appears in the community feed

The feed shows public posts, newest first. Posts about private animals and updates intended only for a litter, group, or team stay out of the public feed. Hidden posts also stay out.

There is no personal **Not interested** control for hiding another member's individual post. You can hide a post you authored with **Hide post**. Creatures administrators can hide content during moderation.

Select **Load more posts** to continue browsing.

For creating posts and choosing the correct posting voice, see [Posting, reacting, and reposting in the community feed](https://help.creatures.com/en/article/the-community-feed-posting-reactions-and-reposts-lywskc/). Reviews are separate from community posts; see [Leaving a review](https://help.creatures.com/en/article/leaving-a-review-1ws3qhv/).
