Finding your way around

Getting Started

Finding your way around

The bar across the top is how you get everywhere:

  • The site name on the left always takes you home to the main feed, and opens a menu of everywhere else on the site.
  • Friends Feed shows posts from just the people you're friends with.
  • Users lets you search for people and see suggestions of who to connect with.
  • Tags and Topics help you discover posts by topic and see what's popular right now.
  • Map and Locations show posts by where they were posted from, on a map or listed by place.
  • Search looks across the site's posts.
  • Messages holds your private conversations, and marks itself when one is waiting.
  • Bookmarks is your private list of saved posts.
  • Notifications lights up when someone interacts with you.
  • Help (these articles) and About are there whether or not you're logged in.

Your own name sits at the top-right - it links to your profile, and opens a menu with Friends (where you accept requests and manage who you're connected to), your drafts and scheduled posts, your User Settings, and the log out option.
