How does one initiate a direct message? 🤷♂️
I'm guessing it's much simpler than I'm making it out to be🙈
@th3j35t3r holy crap.. I didn't think I'd actually get a response from you!😃
I found it - thank you!
I am enjoying the platform btw. Wish i had found it sooner
@LnzyHou @th3j35t3r my thoughts exactly!
I'm afraid other platforms will be hindered by comparisons to the other place, which is unfortunate as Jester has done very well here I believe
@TheCuriousWoodworker It's not you, it's a Pro feature. Anyone can receive a DM, but you have to be Pro to start one. 👍

You can initiate it with the kebab menu (3 vertical dots) on their profile page, or by clicking the "More" ellipsis (…) menu on the bottom of a post they've made, then select "Direct message @ «username»" from the menu.
You can also simply start a message in your composer, iinclude any @ (any valid @ in the message is a recipient) then click the post privacy icon at the bottom of the post and select the envelope icon.

In the compose box select the icon that looks like a globe. Choose Direct Message. Then type you message. Only folks you mention by @ will be able to see it. 👍
