MINDS User Guide for the Browser: Home

The MINDS Home page accessed by the "Home" icon in the Left Navigation Bar:

 

The Home page is where boosted content, your channel posts, and posts from other channels you've subscribed to and groups you've joined are displayed as a newsfeed. See "Interacting with Other People's Posts" for more information.

At the very top of the newsfeed is a dialog box for posting to your channel.

See "Posting" for more information on how to post.

Boosted Content

The next control you will encounter in your newfeed is probably the most controversial, misunderstood, and user "surly" (versus friendly) interface in MINDS. I don't know what to call it.

Right below this "boost control" is a boosted content which is replaced by another boosted content after a certain amount of time. The appropriate bar in the "boost control" is highlighted to inform you the relative position of the boosted content displayed is with regards to all of the boosted contents.

You can, mercifully, stop this cycling of boosted content by switching the toggle on the very right of this "boost control." If desired, you can also click on a bar to see the correponding boosted content, or the less than (<) or greater than (>) symbols to scroll the bars representing the boosted content. Whew! Enough of the "boost control."

Boosted content are marked with the above.

Your Channel Info

At the top of the column immediately to the right of the newsfeed is your channel info.

Your avatar, channel name (Display Name), and MINDS username (starts with the @ symbol) are displayed here. Clicking here will display your channel.

Trending Hashtags

This is a relatively new and welcomed addition to the Home page. It shows the type of posts which are currently popular in MINDS. Adding hashtags to your posts and blogs is very important.
