Setting up you post - Settings tab

Setting tab overview

The Settings tab allows you to control how users can interact with your post. From comments and reactions to participation and visibility, this tab ensures you have the right level of engagement and moderation for each type of content.

1. 💬 Comments

Decide how users can engage in discussions under your post.

• Open – Users can post and view comments.

• Closed – Users can view existing comments but cannot add new ones.

• Hidden – Only the post owner can view comments; hidden from all other users.

2. 😀 Reactions

Enable quick feedback through emoji-based reactions.

• Open – Users can react anytime.

• On Hold – Reactions are paused; existing reactions remain but can’t be changed.

• Disabled – Reactions are turned off completely.

Optional toggle: Show reaction statistics to users (e.g., counts per reaction).

3. 🙋 Participation Options

The Participation section is designed as an RSVP system for events and activities, but it’s flexible enough to support other use cases too:

• Events - Enable both Interested and Going options to let people either show casual interest or confirm attendance. This makes planning easier with RSVP tracking.

• Gathering interest - If Interested is enabled but Going is disabled, the post works like a survey or sign-up sheet. Example: gauging interest in a new initiative, training, or activity before committing to organizing it.

• Marketplace posts - In Item for Sale or Giveaway ads, using the Interested option allows the owner to see who is interested and directly contact them. This provides a simple and private way to connect buyers and sellers without cluttering the main post with negotiations.

This flexibility makes participation settings useful not just for events, but also for opportunities, team requests, or internal marketplace listings.

a) “Interested” option

Let users express interest without fully committing.

• Open – Users can express interest at any time.

• On Hold – Expressing interest is temporarily paused; existing interested users remain.

• Disabled – Interest option turned off; previously interested users removed.

b) “Going” option

Allow users to confirm attendance for events or activities.

• Open – Users can join at any time.

• On Hold – Joining is temporarily paused; existing participants remain.

• Disabled – Joining is turned off; all current participants will be removed.

You can also limit the number of participants by entering a maximum value.

c) Participation Visibility

Control how participant information is displayed.

• Visible – Names and total participant counts are shown to everyone.

• Counters only – Only the number of participants is visible; names are hidden.

• Hidden – No participation information is displayed.

✅ Pro tip: All settings can be updated at any time, even after your post is live. This flexibility helps you adjust engagement levels as your content evolves.
