It's tradition on JADS to add a jphSnail reaction to posts which say the same thing as something that somebody else has already posted, presumably because the poster was slow like a snail. In practice, this is used either when someone says the same joke as someone else but they post it a few seconds later, or when someone posts a link to a tweet about some video game news and somebody else had already posted it earlier that day. Part of the "snailing meta" is to add a salt emoji (🧂) reaction to your own post before other people add snail reactions to it, which makes their snails not count, because salt kills snails.

The phenomenon of snailing is similar to Heinzgate-ing.
