I had the same problem. When I tried on a different PC, I was asked to sign in to comment and then I could do a LIKE. Also on original PC in a different browser , I could like/edit. It may be something to do with cookies. Try a different browser.
With the Vivaldi browser it's in reverse: without login, clicking on the email brings up the article in browser, substack ID is recognized and liking is possible. But without subsequent signing in, comments aren't accepted. In Vivaldi the solution for that is to prevent that the substack cookie gets deleted (due to restart of browser or PC or a "cleanup" program). That should work in every browser via the settings.
I have had a perhaps similar experience with Substack's sub-quality interface, where it would seem to not register a "like" click, but actually was just delayed (for quite a while) in reflecting it on screen. I tried experiments with clicking it back off and on again after it finally seemed to show up (hard to tell, because an increase in the parenthetical number of likes could have been due to a different reader's input), and it seemed to be actually registering the alternating clicks, just slow in reporting them. This phenomenon has happened several times for me.
It won’t let me like your post..
💯🎯👍👍👍👍

I have had problems recently with Brave browser (like articles but not comments) but can 'like' all via Firefox.
