please never stop addressing this. a lot of learners quit after a visit to those exchange sites (looking at you stack!)
it is important for me to have a place where i can just absorb information and ask questions without negative feedback! i've become much better at expressing myself and coding simply because of the vibrant healthy community.
ps: i always like all 3 ( heart, pink-mane horse and tag emojis) but i dont really know the differences and/or uses, someone care to explain?
pps: if this was asked on some exchange network (:coughs) i'd be downvoted before i even reload the page.

I've always wondered the diff between the horse and the heart. I guess i'll just use them both from now, ☺.
Btw, DEV is awesome but it sets me off when i'm on a slow network and I click a link to a post. There's no sign that it's loading. Sometimes i click repeatedly. I feel something could be done to improve on that experience.
I think the difference between the heart and the unicorn is the unicorn aims to upvote the post...probably to make it a top/hot post for the week or so.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
