    Send a friend request.

    Unfortunately having MFP friends now is a moot point with no news feed.

    I no longer accept friend requests because most of them are scammers looking for easy $.... lol

    “Friends” used to be a thing when we had the “Friends Feed”, a scrolling FB type view of what your friends were doing, comments, jokes, wins and frustrations shared.

    MFP discontinued the feed back in June. 😥

    There are other, similar apps with a similar feed, but frankly, the one app everyone fled to, I tried was very chaotic and you couldn’t control who saw your posts, like you could with the old newsfeed here.

    The best way to get support now is via posting here in the open community, joining a “group” (you have to search hard for an active group), or joining an appropriate Challenge or two over on the challenges board.

    Eventually you’ll get familiar with user IDs. I count many of the otherwise anonymous users here as “friends”.

    Like @xbowhunter i seldom accept friends requests nowadays. It’s usually fake accounts that want to push crypto or want to schmooze me into sending money to their poor (usually-grrrrrrr-faux military or medical) selves. I see a profile pic with shredded abs or a cute dog nowadays- even on the boards here- and I’m immediately suspicious, thanks to these jerks.

    Hi I am having the same issues trying to find real people who want to support each other and are not scammers. Feel free to add me. I have been trying to give people a chance just remember if they over step and make you feel uncomfortable you can always block them. Best wishes!
