Hi new here still trying to figure out how to use this social media part

lightheart52

I just started using the social media part but it is a bit confusing. Any tips welcomed 💜

welcome to MFP @lightheart52

It’s more of a dinosaur community board, but it works.

To bookmark a thread click you want to return to, click here

Click on your profile pic each time you return to the boards.

Any time there’s a new post, you’ll be flagged by a number overlaying the notifications bell:

To get someone’s attention or call them to a thread, put an @ sign in front of their user name until it turns blue, like @lightheart52

That will also make the post appear in their notifications. If you go look now, you should see something like “springlering62 mentioned you by name” with a link to this thread.

Quoting an earlier post will also put your reply in their notifications.

Other than that, it’s pretty simple. Find threads that interest you and read read read.

Reading these boards every night, getting advice, seeing what other peeps were asking (that I could relate to) were what kept me on track to a very large loss, from obese to “normal”. There’s lots of good info here, and people will jump on a myth, bad advice, or scammers like ducks on a junebug.
