How do you "like" a contribution other than by clicking on the heart symbol?

I click the heart symbol at the bottom of posts I like. However, I often see that the recorded “likes” outnumber the recorded of recorded heart clicks. What am I missing?

It also factors in liked comments on the post.

Thanks! And thanks for the great content you’ve contributed…

Statistics aside I find that getting feedback and questions in the comments does a lot more to inform how people liked something than the number of hearts something’s earned. Engagement is a two-way thing.

This. I can’t overstate how much I love reading actual written comments. I read them whenever I need cheering up, so they’re literally worth more than gold to me.
