Depending on the message, there are different ways to respond to show that you are paying attention.

Why are some emojis on Discord gray?
If you are a member of multiple servers, you may have noticed that once you click on the emoji icon next to a specific message, some of the emojis appear gray in the drop-down menu.
Users that don’t have Nitro (Discord’s premium subscription) can’t use other servers’ emotes. These emotes will show up in gray in the drop-down menu.
Nitro comes with many of features including custom emojis, a Discord number tag, animated avatars, and a community server boost.
