After you post, how do you read it on the site? How do you read things others have posted? Am I just dumb?

EDIT: Oh. I should've copied the link to the post. I guess it's gone forever. Geez Louise. I am not a smart man.

I just made a duplicate post since I lost the first one. https://anon.sharehub.live/post/ckmy1ef6w000315legil44c2u/Le...

How do you find other people's posts?

1 comments

Right now, you can't find other people's posts. This is by design. It is up to you to decide who to share your posts with.

I considered adding an option to list your article on some type of feed or list, but then I would have to figure out how to moderate all the toxic posts that would inevitably pile-up.

Thanks for the answer.

With that in mind, when you make a post and enable comments then those people who have the shared link are the only ones who can comment, right?

I was trying to understand how to read any comments that others have made on the Anon post you made. For this to work you need to save the link, send it to your selected audience, and then check back in for their thoughts.

Correct!

Only those who can actually see the post can make comments. Later on, I might add some way for the originally author to 'moderate' their comments through a non-tracking cookie. However, many users probably have some cookie-deletion extensions installed (I know I do) that might make this difficult if they close the page. Still trying to think of a better solution.

Couldn't the poster set a password instead of a cookie, which they could then use for comment moderation on that post?
If I could give you a cookie now, I would.

I don't know why I didn't think of this before lol
