Your first post
The composer is the box that says 'what's on your mind.' Here's how to use hashtags, mention people, and ship it.
What it is
The composer is the box at the top of your feed (and behind the Compose button in the sidebar) that says "what's on your mind." It takes text up to 2,200 characters, plus media, links, polls, and voice.
How to use it
Tap Compose. Type your post. Mention someone with @ and their
handle; tag a topic with # and a word.
Use the toolbar to attach images, video, a poll, or a voice clip. Drag to reorder, tap × on any item to remove it.
Pick an audience (default is Public), then tap Post. You'll see your post in your profile feed within a second.
Why it matters
Most of TrueSay's signal lives in posts, so the composer is where we spend the most design time. The mention autocomplete pulls from people you actually talk to first; hashtags resolve to trending pages, not keyword soup. Honestly, it should feel like writing a text — that's the goal.
