Simply so, what does it mean for a comment to be pinned?
The feature lets any user pin three comments on a post to the top of a thread, and it's designed to allow the author of a post to better control the tone of the comment thread through highlighting positivity and moderating more negative and abusive responses that show up below the pinned comments.
Subsequently, question is, what is pinning comments on Instagram? Instagram has started rolling out pinned comments feature, which allows users to pin up to three comments on top of the posts. With the help of this feature, the company believes it will help users in controlling the tone of responses on a post, while at the same time, moderate abusive or negative comments.
In respect to this, how do I unpin a post?
To unpin a post, click on the edit pencil icon in the upper-right corner of the pinned post and you will see the option to unpin the post in the drop-down menu.
Can you pin your own comment?
You cannot pin your own comment on a thread — remember to be strategic in the comments you choose to pin! You can pin up to three comments — choose wisely (or simply un-pin and re-pin a different comment) If you pin a person's comment, they will get a notification — similar to a tag or mention.
