1) Is there a way to get my #questions about #CounterSocial answered other than just posting the question?
2) Do we have a "quote retweet" kind of function?
3) Is there an easy way to view my profile? [I can search my handle, but there should be a 1-click way.]
@AmerLiberal I havenβt fount a quote function.
You can access your profile by clicking the three horizontal bars in the top right corner and then clicking on your name. Not sure if there is a faster way, but that works.
@Mabbott - Thank You. Can you say more about "three horizontal bars in the top right corner." THIS is what my screen looks like...
@AmerLiberal I have three lines in the corner on my phone. Looks like youβre on your computer, and I donβt see those on any of your screenshots. π€ Not sure.

2. No quote rt like function here.
3. Click on your avi or handle to view your profile.
1) Not really.
2) Nope, bad actors abuse it.
3) Just click on your handle.
@AmerLiberal You probably want to tag this with #CoSoTips or #CoSoHelp to get it viewed.
If you click on your handle in the left pane it will open up your profile page.
As for quote/retweet my understanding is no.
@AI78 - Thank You! My handle isn't in the left pane in #CounterSocial the way it is in Mastodon. My screen looks like this...
1. i'm not aware. if you were a pro, you could dm the jester but i doubt you'd get a quicker answer than posting to the firehose since he's kinda busy & just 1 person.
2. no quote rt. that leads to a lot of trolling behaviour - certainly did on the other app. i didn't use it that way but i saw a lot of peeps do that. may be why it's not a feature here.
3. clicking on your handle is a 1 click way to get to your profile. not sure i understand your question?
1) Answers to help questions are more likely seen using the #CoSoHelp or #help tags (NOT #CoSoTips: use that to FIND tips)
2) Any reply you make is automatically in your follower's My Friends feeds. "RT" isn't conversation, it's moving OUT of one.
3) Your username &icon are present in any post you make, click those. You aren't seeing it on the left because your view is too small. Zoom out (Ctrl+- or Ctrl+scroll) and it should appear over the post composer.
@AmerLiberal Click your name on your post or at the top left. :)
@TrueBloodNet - Several people are saying my profile should be at the top left, but it isn't on my web/desktop view. Any idea how to get it to show there?
@AmerLiberal No the profile itself is on the top right once you click on your name. Your name is usually on the top left OR on any post you make,
HOpe that's clearer.
@TrueBloodNet - But my name is not at the top left (on desktop/web version). Any idea how to get it to show there.
Hmm I see that it's not but instead says 'data loading..'
Instead click on your name in any post. ?
@AmerLiberal I'm on Desktop as well. The other thing you can try is clicking the mentions tab then click your name? or use search. It used to be there but I'm guessing it went away during some of the security stuff the site had to do recently? (I'm not an expert as you have no doubt guessed. LOL
1. You could tag your question with hashtag Cosotips or cosohelp, If it really is a stickler of a problem, last resort ask @th3j35t3r , but remember CoSo is basically a one-man ooperation, and that one man is JESTERm so give others a chance to help you first.
3. I access mine by clicking on my name just above Edit Profile, which is just above my posting box
@AmerLiberal 2. No. 3. Click on your name or avatar.
