Ask HN: Why can't we favorite a post from the front page?

6 points by szemy2 3y ago ↗ HN

Quite often I navigate back to the front page and want to favorite the post later on. However, you can only do that from the comments section.

Is this setup intended, and if so what is the reasoning behind it?

and comments can be liked only from single-comment section. and too few posts on a page, in 1080x2560 (vertical) only half of monitor is filled with content.

My guess will be to prevent misclicks.

But then why can we flag posts from the front page?
