This is new to us. There are some missing Facebook features, but there is so much more. Consider this your home.
Our only rule is to be kind. We hope you’ll come in with a wish to help others and you’ll get so much back in return.
Here are a few things that make our community special:
- We’ve got polls, prompts, posts, and questions that can bring more people into conversation in a space that’s all our own.
- We’ve got Topics to organize our activity, Search to find what we’re looking for, and Save Post for you to quickly come back to your favorites.
- You can direct message. You can also post and have threaded conversations.
- We can organize virtual sessions and events.
- We can keep conversations and messaging going before, during, and after our events.
- We can also organize smaller groups and/or our own online courses.
In other words, we’ve chosen a spot designed to grow with us over time.
Here are a few things to know as you get started:
Make Things Friendlier –– Add Your Photo
Add a profile photo of your beautiful face. When we can’t be together in person, photos make a huge difference. Also, add your mini-bio or, better yet, a quick introduction for new people.
You can do this by choosing Edit on your Profile.
Adjust Your Notifications
Adjust the notifications you receive over email or mobile at any time. To tweak them, click on your face in the upper right hand corner, choose Your Settings, and click Notifications. Adjust accordingly. Same for sounds.
Add Posts, Articles, Polls, Photos, and Questions
When you click into the main box on the Home screen, you’ll get different options from adding a post to uploading a photo, embedding a video via a link, sharing a link or a file, or creating a poll.
There are three different kinds of polls, all of which are awesome––multiple-choice, hot/cold (great for how you and other members feel about something), and percentage of time or resources.
If you want to add a gif, do it by adding a photo. THCG doesn’t have a gif keyboard just quite yet.
Even Better Than Posting? Comment, Reply, and Contribute to Other People’s Posts and Questions
Nothing is lonelier than a post without comments or cheers, or a poll that is flailing in the wind.
Go ahead. Share your answer, say hey, or if you’re in a hurry, click the cheer button.
Use Topics
You’ll be prompted to add your posts to a Topic. Go for it. They are here to help us keep things a bit organized. If you have recommendations for other Topics for us to add, let us know in the comments below.
Get the App on your Phone
To get the iOS or Android app, go to Your Settings, and text yourself the app. Alternatively, download the Mighty Networks app from the Apple App or Google Play Stores, search for THCG, and sign in again.
Before You Go –– Help Us Keep This Place Special
We’re creating something special with THCG. Please share generously, be quick to support other members, and resist the temptation to troll, self-promote, or judge. We’re doing something different here.
