Good Day
We have noticed that the modern page we have as the default home page for a communication site, does not show at the lower part of the page the social bar which give us the count for views, data on likes, comments, save for later etc. When we open modern pages from the site pages library we can see the social bar. Do we know why we have this behavior and if there is something we can do for allowing the modern page that is designated as the home page of the site to show the social bar? Thanks!

I agree with the need of the social bar even on the first page. From my perspective mostly because users are currently not able to save that page for later which should ideally be possible from any content page.

@Thomas Bak the social bar appears on my comm site home page so maybe this has changed since last year. I'd like to get rid of it but keep the commenting function. It makes no sense to bind social bar and comments - these are 2 very different things. I know I can hide the social bits with some css but I shouldn't have to do that.

Unfortunately until Msft decides to provide a more complete and usable ui, we have to use powershell:
Connect-SPOService -Url https://xxx-admin.sharepoint.com
Set-SPOSite -Identity https://xxx.sharepoint.com/sites/<site name> -SocialBarOnSitePagesDisabled $true
