I was on MFP yeeeaaars ago… and back then on your home dashboard you could type entries and share progress photos that your friends could see and comment on. You also had a feed of your friends where you could comment on their entries. Is that no longer a thing? A Premium only thing? Or am I just completely missing it? On iOS if that makes a difference. Thanks y’all!

    It's no longer a part of MFP. Mutual support is now available just through the Community where you're posting now, including groups; and through direct messages with friends in the other part of MFP.

    Well… that makes me sad. I enjoyed that personal aspect of it.

    I don't know whether it will help, but I tried to get a thread going about how to get/give support after the newsfeed was gone. It didn't get much traction, but a few people did post suggestions.

    Aww thanks for that! I just found the groups things. Does that seem to be helpful or another dud?

    It varies. There are a lot of old or inactive groups. Some of the inactive (or nearly inactive) groups still contain useful information.

    There are also some active, useful groups, but they can be hard to find. The easiest way to find some of those is to look at posts that "advertise" the group. Those posts can be anywhere in the Community, but there tend to be more of them in the Challenges or Motivation and Support sections of the Community. (Even some of the ongoing threads there might give you some newsfeed-like personal interactions.)

    Thanks for asking. I was confused too!
