This was discussion about community Ui not about plugins.

This is reminiscent of my concern about plugins.  Besides, aren't all mods plugins? Shouldn't all mods be plugins?

What plugins are you talking about?

All important plugins are supported by the few developers who are on Elgg.

The rest of the unsupported plugins have either lost their relevance or are not needed by users.

If the developer abandoned the project, why would anyone work on it?

iionly wrote a good post about this problem, please search the community for similar whiny discussions ("Elgg is dying ... blah blah blah")

If you can't find the plugins you need here, look for them in the repositories on GitHub or somewhere else.

We created a channel in Telegram, where we regularly posted information about the release of all plugins from all sources, both paid and free.

P.S. Why do you call plugins "mods"? There are no mods in Elgg, only plugins.

I call plugins 'mods' because they're modules in the 'mod' directory, along with many core functions.  I thought that it would be sensible for all functions that operate as modules to be modular.  Your response is disheartening, especially as such a cold dismissal of a reasonable suggestion from a long-time elgg enthusiast.  My suggestion is good-natured and well-intentioned.  It's not whiny.  But it does disincline me from contributing back to an uninviting, insular community who seems to not want my contribution.

"All important plugins are supported by the few developers who are on Elgg.

I would like to know where exactly the like and comment buttons are rendered, what are those views?

Likes are predefined in the social menu. This function does it:

https://github.com/Elgg/Elgg/blob/5.x/mod/likes/lib/functions.php#L17

Comments are predefined in this form:

https://github.com/Elgg/Elgg/blob/5.x/views/default/forms/comment/save.php

The view of button is here:

https://github.com/Elgg/Elgg/blob/5.x/views/default/forms/comment/save.php#L65

Muchas gracias me gustaría saber si es posible implementar un nuevo botón pero de no me gusta, como hacer que eso sea posible?

English please

We'd love to upgrade the community to the latest version. However like you said where do we get the time.

A lot of work needs to be done in order to update the community (lots of plugins). Also server side there need to be some updates (PHP, MySQL, search engine).

Because we keep putting it off, it becomes harder and harder to update. Once we're up to date keeping it up te date won't be such a big problem.

There is a lot of old content, honestly deleting until 2023 and giving new content to the community would be a good idea.
