Like buttons have gone missing from posts and comments

Problem

After the release of 8.0 the way configuration is managed has been changed. The like and dislike module takes care of adding the like field to entities so these fields shouldn't be in the exported configuration.

However, the like_and_dislike module adds these field as hidden by default: https://git.drupalcode.org/project/like_and_dislike/-/blob/8.x-1.x/like_...

Priority major because this is an oft and very visible feature.

Solution

It's probably difficult to make the like_and_dislike module change their way so we can implement an alter hook to make the default visibility for this field type visible. We can assume that if the field shouldn't be visible, like and dislike is probably not enabled for an entity/bundle.
