Reactions

When a user adds a reaction to a message in a linked channel, Orax replicates that reaction on all mirrored copies of the message across every connected server.

How It Works

A user adds a reaction (emoji) to a message in a linked channel
Orax detects the reaction via Discord’s messageReactionAdd event
The bot looks up all mirrored copies of the message in the database
The same reaction is added to each mirrored message via Discord’s REST API

Supported Reactions

Standard Unicode emojis — ✅ Fully supported
Custom Discord emojis — ✅ Supported if the bot has access to the emoji in the target server

If the bot doesn’t have access to a custom emoji in a target server, the reaction will fail silently for that server. Standard Unicode emojis always work.

Bidirectional Sync

Reactions work bidirectionally — a reaction added on any mirrored copy of a message will be replicated to all other copies, including the original message.

Limitations

Reactions only work within the 30-day retention window for message mappings
Discord has rate limits on adding reactions, so very rapid reaction additions may be throttled
Reaction removal is not currently synced — removing a reaction on one copy does not remove it on others
