            Bug ID: 522398
           Summary: Missing icons for social actions (bookmarks, boosts,
                    favourites etc.)
    Classification: Plasma
           Product: Oxygen
      Version First unspecified
       Reported In:
          Platform: Debian testing
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: icons
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
  Target Milestone: ---

Good morning,

While using Tokodon (the KDE client for federated social media), I noticed that
the symbols for various interactions on the posts were mismatched or clashing.
For example, the 'bookmark this post' symbol was a star, while the 'favourite
this post' symbol also displayed as a slightly different star.

I initially thought this was a Tokodon issue, but it appears that the Oxygen
icon theme right now does not supply icons for social media interactions
(boost, favourite etc.), and that the 'bookmarks' icon displays as a star
(which is not ideal) and is missing an equivalent interacted state (i. e.
bookmarks-bookmarked).

For your convenience: the relevant icon definitions Tokodon uses are defined
here:
https://github.com/KDE/tokodon/blob/master/src/qml/PostDelegate/PostDelegate.qml

This includes the following icons:
- bookmarks (exists, but as a star)
- bookmarks-bookmarked (missing)
- favorite (missing)
- favorite-favorited (missing)
- boost (missing)
- boost-boosted (missing)

I propose the Oxygen theme to be expanded by suitable icons for these
definitions; when Oxygen was created originally, I guess social media and
social features in general were not as prevalent as today, while today they're
something of a necessity.
