LikeBot posting bot
In short
Telegram's original fix for the missing like button. You need it less now, but native reactions haven't fully replaced it.
About the bot
Back in the mid-2010s you couldn't like a channel post at all. Telegram's own team patched that gap with a bot: send it some text or a photo, pick a set of emojis, and LikeBot builds a post with counter buttons underneath. Each tap shows up instantly and the tally grows right under the message.
You publish through inline mode, so there's no need to make the bot a channel admin. Prepare the post, pull it up in the right chat, send. Groups work too.
Now the honest part. Since late 2021 Telegram has native reactions, and for a simple thumbs up you don't need this bot anymore. LikeBot still has its niche, though: you choose the emojis yourself instead of whatever the admin allowed, and the buttons sit right under the post like a tiny poll. Think fire / fine / skip under a review, or a vote between two cover designs.
The obvious downside: bot buttons live separately from native reactions, and plenty of readers will instinctively tap the reactions instead, splitting your votes across two places. We'd use it for the occasional poll rather than under every post.
