Does anybody have any tips they can give me on how to better use/understand this platform? Since I only joined earlier on today, any form of advice would be appreciated. Thanks. 🙂
@rosielebontennant Hi Rosie! Welcome to CoSo. Just hop right into conversations...we don't bite. 😁
@mightymite Hello there! I’ll do that, but of course, when you join a new social media platform, especially if barely anybody you know is there, it’s about finding people with similar interests first for me. 😃🤣 How are you doing by the way? Hope you’re OK. 😃😘💖💙 Xxxx
@mightymite Yeah, I’m finding the desktop version a bit too overwhelming to understand tbh. That’s why I’m using the app, but it’s a bit of a blow a lot of features aren’t available this way. Thanks for telling me about the layout of the site, timelines/notifications and the like, but I don’t know how to follow hashtags yet. Glad you’re doing OK too, hope you have a nice weekend, whatever you may get up to for it? 😃😘💖💙 Xxxx
@rosielebontennant I could be wrong, but I don't think you can follow hashtags on the app. You find them by using the search and a #, but I think on the desktop version you can follow. Thanks and enjoy your weekend!
@mightymite Ah that sucks. I hope more features will get added to the app soon then. 🥺🤞 I’ll try and follow some hashtags on the desktop version then, but I have to admit that when it comes to replying back to people, I find it much easier to do on my phone. You’re welcome and I hope you have a nice weekend too, do you have any plans for it? 🙂😘💙💖 Xxxx
@mightymite Is pinning a column on here the same as following it on here, or is it completely different? 🤔💖💙 Xxxx
@rosielebontennant I have to admit, I found the desktop version overwhelming at first, too, so I haven't taken the time to learn the ins and outs yet. Plus, I don't sit at my desk to use it much. I just hop on the app when I can. Sorry, I can't answer that, but yes, I think pinning is the same as following. And in answer to your other question, I plan on relaxing! It's been a long week and I spent all of last weekend in the car! Ugh. What are your plans?
@rosielebontennant Doing ok, thanks!
Using hashtags will help more with that. I saw that you use the app...I mostly do as well (android) so a lot of the features are not available that way. The firehose is the icon all the way to the left (where you see everything), then who you follow is to the right of that, and then notifications. Have fun!
