Is there a good place to ask (maybe silly) questions about how to use the site?
in reply to Nicole Ross

Sure! here is good, or you can DM me or just make a post! If they're not sensitive questions, it might be helpful to make them public so that others can see the answers!

(tbh the DM system is very rudimentary though, and maybe it's actually better to use a different platform for DMs, or to make a post with audience set to a specific set of people)

I think I need instructions on how to...find and request friends on here? At least when I was trying to do it from my phone this morning I could only figure out how to do it for 1-2 people and for others I just couldn't figure it out.

superstimul.us/directory has a list of all the local people who clicked the "include me in the directory" box in their settings. You can also search people's names from the "Contacts" screen, in the left sidebar, though this is more annoying to get to on mobile.

To add somebody, click the little person-with-plus-sign icon next to their name in the search, or you can go to their profile and click the "Follow" button, also in the left sidebar and annoying to find on mobile.

Thanks! It still feels pretty clunky on mobile, but much easier on a laptop

When I clicked "Submit" in the Send Message feature just now, nothing happened. I had a ben@superstimul.us equivalent in the to field. Is this an issue for others, or just me?

Just to check: are you open to people inviting arbitrary amounts of (non-asshole) people, or do you still want to be cautious/grow slowly/have limits on who's invited?
in reply to Amber Dawn

You can invite arbitrary numbers of non-asshole people! In fact at this point I'm excited about it! There's some chance that if my server becomes way overloaded I might have to impose restrictions on invites or start asking for donations, but for now go crazy.

I'm guessing it's only because I have only 1 friend so far, but I have an empty feed, so I am discovering posts using the circular button in the navbar. It's a confusing interface!
