My First Time Using an App - Hopeful for the Future

Also note—there's no option to delete anything, anywhere but DMs. So proofread and be sure you want it out there for-ever as stated. I find that the thread topics that are the least wordy seem to get the most replies and engagement, while the people who include details and ask more complicated questions get ignored. Lots of people raised on Twitter Attention Spans here, I guess. Over 180 characters makes their brain melt 🫠 I find it better to post the succinct question or statement, and have the rest of your details in your keyboard's clipboard, then paste that right in as a follow-up comment to the post so it'll function as a "pinned/sticky" up top, since comments are displayed by age top-down. ★ If you fill out a lot (more than like 5) of symptoms of conditions, your posts will only be sent to about 10-75 users (when selecting the Broad range, even), and that limits your reach. So sometimes I find it better to delete a bunch of symptoms, make my post, then add them back to hack it to display to more users. Very tedious, and I still get almost no feedback or engagement on my own posts here, but I'm extremely active in comments. So there's definitely no algorithm at work with that correlation. Welcome and good luck!

Yeah it's sure a whole lot better than anything Zuck controls! Just as Cory1988 notes — Make sure you DONT respond to the app-sponsored posts (with the pictures of laughing LGBTQ millennials/Zers and huge text) or you'll end up with notifications you can't clear that just wont ever ever stop for weeks and weeks and weeks.

People seem nice and helpful, app itself needs a lot of improvements lol, like I wish I could unfollow posts because they get too many comments and then I get a ton of notifications and almost none of them has anything to do with me

I hope it's all you wish it to be.
