Is it still possible to star(upvote) solutions?

Hi, I joined exercism recently. I see that community solutions have stars next to them. Is starring/upvoting solution still possible? I can’t find a way to do it.

I wrote my own solution and was very happy about it, but I needed an extra if-then-else-end just to handle an empty string! So at first, I started a code review request. Then I remembered about community solutions and decided to check them first. I cancelled the code review request, found a solution with a simple fix to my problem, tested it, and then wanted to upvote it. But I can’t find a way to do it. The solution also has comments disabled. Is this something specific to this particular solution (someone opted out), or I’m seeing some features that are still displayed in the interface but disabled?

I checked the FAQ and the documentation (it sits under Contribute for some reason???!!!) and starring or upvoting is not mentioned there.

On a person’s solution, from the community solutions, you can “Favorite” it:

You can view your favorited solutions under the Learn menu.

I don’t know if that’s documented anywhere

On the community solutions page, you can no longer sort by “most stars” – historically, most stars where handed out several years ago, so out-of-date solutions would sort to the top, unhelpfully.
