A LinkedIn comment pod is a group of professionals who agree to comment on each other's posts, usually within an hour of publishing, instead of only liking them. It works best when the comments are long, specific and come from people in your field, because LinkedIn gives comments more weight than likes and shows the post to each commenter's network. ## Which LinkedIn comment-for-comment groups can you join? These free communities were checked on Oct 21, 2026, and the member counts are what each platform showed that day. Admins set the rules in each group, so read the pinned message before you post. To get comments on your own posts without searching groups, add them to [LinkedInLikes for free](https://linkedinlikes.com/linkedin/comment). | Community | Where it runs | Size | Language | What members do there | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [LinkedIn For Breakfast](https://www.skool.com/linkedin-for-breakfast) | Skool | 6,603 members | en | free LinkedIn community with pods and live events | | [LinkedIn Engagement Pod & Group](https://t.me/linkedin_engagement_pod) | Telegram | 1,833 members | en | general pod for likes and comments on LinkedIn posts | | [LinkedIn Engagement Pod (RVision Digital)](https://t.me/linkedinengagementpod) | Telegram | 1,064 members | en | post sharing for likes and comments, plus connections and skill endorsements | | [Linkedin engagement pod](https://t.me/linkedinpod1) | Telegram | 488 members | en | general LinkedIn pod | | [💥 Social Linkedin/FB/IG Engagement Pod](https://t.me/socialengagementpod) | Telegram | 77 members | en | LinkedIn pod where you react to and leave a real comment on the last 5 posts before sharing yours | | [r/linkedintips](https://www.reddit.com/r/linkedintips/) | Reddit | 38,314 members | en | tips on getting your name and brand seen on LinkedIn | ## What is a LinkedIn comment pod? It is a group of professionals who have agreed to comment on each other's posts, going further than a like, and usually within the first hour after a post goes live. Comment pods meet in Slack, WhatsApp and Telegram groups, in LinkedIn group messages or inside pod apps. They are the kind of LinkedIn pod built around the reaction LinkedIn weighs most heavily. ## Why do comments count for more than likes on LinkedIn? LinkedIn reads comments as well as counting them, so a comment pod affects the algorithm more than a like pod does. LinkedIn's own creator guidance says posts with meaningful comments of 10 or more words get up to 3x more distribution than posts that only collect emoji reactions or one-word replies. Comments that start replies and reactions of their own get more weight still. And every comment you leave under someone else's post shows your name to their readers, so you get to borrow their audience for a moment. ## How does a LinkedIn comment pod usually run? 1. **You join a group** It might be a Slack channel, a WhatsApp or Telegram chat, a LinkedIn group message or a pod app. 2. **You share your post** You drop the link in the group the moment the post goes live. 3. **Members comment within the hour** Comments come in during the post's first 60 to 90 minutes. 4. **You answer every comment** Your replies turn single comments into threads. 5. **You comment on everyone else** You leave comments on every other member's posts, and most groups keep track of who takes part. ## What makes a LinkedIn comment pod useful? A pod helps when its comments sound like your market talking. Four things decide that. ### Commenters from your industry If the people commenting work in your field, LinkedIn shows the post to more people in that field. ### 10 words or more A comment that picks up a specific idea from your post carries far more weight than "Great post". ### Comments that start threads A comment that invites an answer becomes a thread, and threads keep a post active for longer. ### A workload you can keep up Many pods expect 15 to 30 minutes a day of comments on posts outside your field just to keep your place. Check the rules before you commit. ## How does LinkedInLikes handle comments? LinkedInLikes is a free community where LinkedIn members comment on, like, repost and save each other's posts by hand from their own accounts. You paste the public link to your post, choose comments, set how many points each comment is worth and how many comments you want. Members who choose your post write the comment in their own words; you can't dictate the text or the tone. You get 100 starter points when you sign up and confirm your email, and you get more by commenting on other members' posts, up to 600 a day. If someone confirms a comment they never posted, you can report it within 72 hours: the points are taken back and repeat offenders are suspended. ## What does a good LinkedIn comment look like? A comment worth having: - **responds to one specific idea** in the post; - **adds an experience, a figure or a question;** - **runs to 10 words or more;** - **comes from someone in your field,** which tells LinkedIn who the post is for. An example under a post about hiring: "We saw the same with take-home assignments: once we capped them at two hours, more candidates finished. Did you change the brief as well?" It refers to the post, adds a result and asks something back. ## Do LinkedIn comment pods work? They can, when the comments are 10 words or longer, come from people in your industry and arrive during the post's first hour. A pod of strangers posting "So true" under everything does little for anyone. A good pod shows up as more impressions, more profile views and more conversations with the people you want to reach. The posts still need to give readers something worth commenting on. ## How can you get more from LinkedIn comments? ### Build a focused feed Follow 50 to 100 accounts in your niche and mute the rest, so your feed fills up with posts worth commenting on. ### Comment in batches Two 15-minute sessions a day, with 5 to 7 thoughtful comments in each, are enough. ### Pick the posts that matter Spend your comments on posts from prospects, partners and respected voices in your industry. ### Write the first comment yourself Within 10 minutes of posting, add a question or a detail the post left out. ### Answer every comment in the first 2 hours Use the commenter's name and ask a follow-up. The [LinkedIn comment generator](https://linkedinlikes.com/linkedin-comment-generator) can suggest openings you then rewrite in your own words. ## How does a typical comment pod compare with LinkedInLikes? | Question | Typical comment pod | LinkedInLikes | | --- | --- | --- | | What comments look like | Often "Great post" or "So true" | Written by each member in their own words; owners can't script them | | Who comments | Whoever happens to be in the group | Members who choose to open your post | | What you owe | 15 to 30 minutes of comments a day | No fixed quota; you get points by supporting other members' posts | | If a comment never appears | Depends on the group admin | Report it within 72 hours and the points are taken back | ## How do you get started? 1. **Copy your post link** Open the LinkedIn post and copy its URL from the three-dot menu. 2. **Create a request** Paste the link on the [LinkedIn comments page](https://linkedinlikes.com/linkedin/comment) and choose comments as the action. 3. **Watch the first hour** Members who pick your post comment from their own accounts. 4. **Keep the thread going** Answer every comment, and add your next post when it goes live.

They can, if the comments are 10 words or more, come from people in your industry and arrive in the post's first hour. Pods full of one-line replies from unrelated people do little. ### Are comment pods better than like pods on LinkedIn? Comments affect LinkedIn's algorithm more than likes, and each comment also shows your post to the commenter's network, so a comment pod usually does more. ### How long should a LinkedIn comment be? 10 words or more. Comments of that length that refer to the post get far more weight than emoji or one-word replies. ### Does commenting on other people's posts help my reach? Yes. A thoughtful comment on a busy post is seen by that post's audience, and some of those readers open your profile. ### Should I reply to every comment on my post? Yes, ideally within 2 hours. Each reply lengthens the thread and adds a fresh signal to the post. ### Can I choose what people write in my comments? On LinkedInLikes, no. Members write in their own words and post owners can't set the text or the tone. A clear question at the end of your post is the best way to shape replies. ### Is LinkedInLikes free? Yes. There are no paid plans. You get 100 starter points when you sign up and more by supporting other members' posts.
