Users on %%site.name%% can create *groups* that other users can join.
|
||||||
|
Groups can be a great way to share information and entertainment with
|
||||||
|
a group of people who have a common interest or background.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can find out about groups on the server on the
|
||||||
|
[Groups](%%action.groups%%) page. You can join a group by clicking on
|
||||||
|
the "Join" button either in the group list or on the group's home page.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Starting a new group
|
||||||
|
--------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you want, you can start a new group for friends and people with
|
||||||
|
common interests. Note that all groups are free for anyone to join.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To start a new group, use the [new group](%%action.newgroup%%) tool
|
||||||
|
and fill out the form. Describe your group as best you can if you want
|
||||||
|
people to be able to find it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When choosing the nickname for your group, try to keep it short. The
|
||||||
|
nickname is included in every message to and from the group, so the
|
||||||
|
less chars the better. Try using acronyms for organizations, or
|
||||||
|
airport codes for places (like 'pdx' instead of 'portland').
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Sending messages to a group
|
||||||
|
---------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can send a message to a group using the syntax "!groupname"
|
||||||
|
anywhere in the message. If you have more than one group named, the
|
||||||
|
notice will go to each group. Only members can send notices to a
|
||||||
|
group, and groups do not respond to direct messages (DMs).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Receiving messages
|
||||||
|
------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
New group messages will appear in your inbox, and will also come to
|
||||||
|
your phone or IM client if you've set them up to receive notices.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Remote groups
|
||||||
|
-------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
While it's technically possible, this version of Laconica does not
|
||||||
|
support remote group membership.

You can post messages to %%site.name%% using a many kinds of cell
|
||||||
|
phones that support SMS messaging. This site does not support SMS
|
||||||
|
directly; rather, it uses your carrier's email gateway to send and
|
||||||
|
receive messages.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Managing your SMS settings
|
||||||
|
--------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Use the [SMS settings](%%action.smssettings%%) page to set your SMS
|
||||||
|
preferences. You can add or change your SMS number and set the
|
||||||
|
flags for SMS updates.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When you add or change your phone number, you'll receive a message on your
|
||||||
|
phone with a verification code. Enter it into the SMS settings page to
|
||||||
|
confirm that the owner of the phone authorizes sending it messages.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that only the carriers listed in the drop down list on the form
|
||||||
|
are supported by %%site.name%%. They're the only ones we know how to
|
||||||
|
make email addresses for.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Receiving messages
|
||||||
|
------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once you've verified your phone number, you can enable sending
|
||||||
|
messages to your phone. If you have a lot of friends and a typical
|
||||||
|
phone, it can be hard to keep up.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Sending messages
|
||||||
|
----------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To send a message, you must send an email to the incoming email
|
||||||
|
address visible on your SMS settings page. The method for sending
|
||||||
|
email from your phone varies from carrier to carrier and from handset
|
||||||
|
to handet; if in doubt, ask your carrier.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Keep your incoming email address a secret -- it's the only way we know
|
||||||
|
you're really you!

||||||

%%site.name%% supports
|
||||||
|
[tags](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_(metadata)) to help you
|
||||||
|
organize your activities here. You can use tags for people and for
|
||||||
|
notices.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Tagging a notice
|
||||||
|
----------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can tag a notice using a *hashtag*; a # character followed by
|
||||||
|
letters and numbers as well as '.', '-', and '_'. Note that accented
|
||||||
|
latin characters are not supported, and non-roman scripts are right out.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The HTML for the notice will link to a stream of all the other notices
|
||||||
|
with that tag. This can be a great way to keep track of a conversation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The most popular current tags on the site can be found in the [public
|
||||||
|
tag cloud](%%action.publictagcloud%%). Their size shows their
|
||||||
|
popularity and recency.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Tagging yourself
|
||||||
|
----------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can also add tags for yourself on your [profile
|
||||||
|
settings](%%action.profilesettings%%) page. Use single words to
|
||||||
|
describe yourself, your experiences and your interest. The tags will
|
||||||
|
become links on your profile page to a list of all the users on the
|
||||||
|
site who use that same tag. It can be a nice way to find people who
|
||||||
|
are related to you geographically or who have a common interest.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Tagging your subscriptions
|
||||||
|
--------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can also tag your subscriptions, on the subscriptions page. This
|
||||||
|
makes it easy to organize your subscriptions into groups and sort
|
||||||
|
through them separately.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can also send a notice "to the attention of" everyone you've
|
||||||
|
marked with a particular tag (note: *not* people who've marked
|
||||||
|
themselves with that tag). "@#family hello" will send a notice to
|
||||||
|
everyone you've marked with the tag 'family'.
