Dear CounterSocial, I still haven't been able to figure out how to add friends on Desktop. This is ridiculous. I am a UX Professional and I haven't been able to figure it out yet!

@cosmiquemuffin

I'm assuming you've read the user guide? If not...

To add friends, one simply clicks 'follow' in that person's profile.

Welcome to CoSo - we truly are a friendly bunch, and are willing to help in any way we can. But please do read the user guide first, as it answers a multitude of questions.

@NanaWithSoul I love the User Guide now that I know how to find it (it didn't even show up on Google when I searched for "CounterSocial User Guide". The link should be in the FAQ.

I want to like CoSo. I do! 😊 I want it to succeed as well. There are a few low-cost things like adding the user guide to the FAQ and in a welcome area to help new users. I shouldn't have to reach out to the community to get the secret link.

@cosmiquemuffin

I can understand your point...to a point. When new users join, they are frequently inundated with welcomes, links, etc.

It isn't a secret link. Reaching out to the community is what we do, because we ARE a community, and therefore help one another, especially newbies.

And CoSo has been succeeding for five years.
