What are cheers?

What are cheers, when i click on my profile, it says that I have 26 cheers. This makes no sense, please help me. I’m new to this and it’s very confusing. Sorry for asking such a stupid question.

It’s just a way to feel competitive and compelled to help others as much as you can.

Well… I like being helpful and helping people, but I don’t get how cheers make you feel competivtive.

There is a leaderboard here on Replit Ask → https://ask.replit.com/leaderboard/1

@JudeWon top 100 is only 343 cheers I believe. You do get a lot of cheers just reading a few dozen topics each day and posting quite a bit, solutions I believe give some cheers as well.

Your a “Guidance Counselor” and you don’t know how cheers work? Thats super funny

Being a “Guidance Counselor” doesn’t have anything to do with Cheers. You unlock the Guidance Counseler title after having 10 of your posts marked as solution.

The forum. Just like cheers are used for. Like “oh wow i wanna get first and I also want to get cool title”. It’s like literally every video game.
