How the Feed works
The Feed doesn't just show the newest posts in order. It puts the most relevant ones first: people in your industry, people who offer what you need, people who need what you offer, and trusted people. Posts from the same person don't come back to back.
Where: HomeGo to page
What's on the screen
- 1Author: A person or a company. Click the name or photo to open the profile. Rings and labels show what they are up to.
- 2Type label: Knowledge, Update, Question, Need, Offer and so on.
- 3Follow: If you don't follow the author yet, a Follow button shows here; if you do, it says Following.
- 4Like and Amplify: Likes are public. Amplify is private and helps the post reach more people.
- 5Reply: Write a comment. Mention someone with @.
Good to know
- Need and Offer posts that fit you sit higher in your Feed.
- The Feed is never empty: new posts show even when the fit is low.
- Company spotlight cards: every company is introduced to everyone in the Feed, dated the day after it joined UmayNow. Nobody writes these cards; they are built from the company's own page. To have your company introduced, fill in its tagline, its About section or at least its industry. The more you fill in, the fuller the card looks.
- Use the filters at the top to see one type only.
- Posts reported a lot are shown to fewer people.
