Am I the only one who keeps getting an error message ("something went wrong") that pops up when I try to like Alex's post or any comments? It started yesterday and I still can't like anything. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Yes. Many of us have been experiencing this for several weeks.
Here's a hack that often works:
Reply to the comment you want to "like" with a short comment, e.g. "like" or "agree."
After your reply shows up, click on the heart icon again, and there's a good chance that now it'll light up. You can delete your short post or just leave it there. (I usually delete it, assuming this works.)
Doing this usually makes it possible to also "like" other posts in the same distinct thread, I've found.
I am unable to use the link back to my comment (тАШServer canтАЩt be foundтАЩ) if I am on my home Wifi (Xfinity). If I go cellular, the link works...whatтАЩs up with that....?
Sometimes I'm led to the single option to be a member. No way back. Answering with my mail address it responds "You already are!" and then discloses the veil and I can read and comment.

I just successfully "liked" your comment.
I can't like your comment
Yes, I have the same problem - I tried to like your comment, but a box comes up saying тАШSomething went wrongтАЩ and the like wonтАЩt register.
My like just went through. I have similar problems daily.

Substack growing pains
Yes, I think they are having server issues or buggy software or both.
Thanks so much for the hack! I'll try it.
That has worked for me but not always.
I got the same error message.

That happens to me daily also. I only use my home WiFi (Verizon) as my tablet not cellular.

Me too. Started a few days ago.
It happens to me when the thread is past the original comment but is inconsistent
Me too!
