The topic of today will probably be longer that usual, and I'll be of course be going from basic stuff to complex stuff. The topic of today is:

Profiles!

I'll try to cover as most as I can about everything that's on a profile page, so this may need an index

:book: Index :book:

• Your Profile

    – How to access your profile

Let's start with what you can do in your own profile!

:arrow_backward: How to access your profile :arrow_forward:

You can access many ways but I'll tell you the most common only. First you can tap on your profile picture from the left side (see image 1) or by tapping on your profile picture when you're chatting (image 2). You can basically access your profile every time you see your profile picture (except for the icon in the top left of the front page which opens the left side )

:arrow_backward: Basics of your profile :arrow_forward:

There are a couple of things you can do here and I'll be going one by one for total understanding.

• Posts🌫

This is the first tab. Here you will see all the post you have ever created, and you can edit them, share them, delete them, or do whatever you want to do with them because they are yours.

• Wall🌫

Second important tab of your profile. Here's the place where people can comment directly at you. Maybe to ask something or to compliment you for something you've made, the reasons are endless! You can reply to their comments, delete them, or do whatever you want as well.

If you don't want people to comment in your wall, you can go to settings (near the bottom of the left side ) and change comments settings for your wall

• Saved Posts🌫

Not that important but it's the third tab. Have you ever come across a post that you really like and want to see it again sometime? Well, you can save it in there by tapping the Save button in the bar on the bottom of a post. Once you've done that, you'll find it here!

• Bio🌫

This is the place to make a brief or long description of yourself. You're obviously not limited to that, you can do whatever you want and I got no more ideas for you

• My Wiki Entries🌫

Here's where all the wiki entries you have created or pinned from the Wiki will show up. You can organize them in folders, which is something I won't explain because it's unnecessary for this tutorial (I would explain it in a Wiki Entry tutorial)

:arrow_backward: How to edit your profile :arrow_forward:

Now that you know the basic stuff, let's move into the edition of your profile. How to change your profile picture, add a bio, set a background, etc.!

There are 3 ways (as far as I know) to access the edition menu. The first one is by tapping the edit button from the main page of your profile (beneath your profile picture). The second one is by tapping your profile picture and then Edit My Profile. And the last one is by going to your bio and tapping Edit in the top right corner

Once you're in the profile edition section, you'll see a couple of simple options of customization such as your name, the background, your gallery, your location, and your bio.

There's something I have to make clear, and it's that Background is for the back of your bio, your feed of posts, etc. And Gallery is for the photos that will display behind your profile picture. If you insert images in your Bio, they will appear as inserted in your Gallery, but won't be displayed behind your profile picture.

To make your bio, just what you learnt in previous tutorials. Formatting text and inserting images is all you need for your bio.

If you don't know how to format text, go to this old post

:arrow_backward: General Options :arrow_forward:

Let's take a look at this image again and I'll explain some other stuff you can do in here

I'll go from top left to bottom right, so you can find what I'm talking about easily.

• Online🌫

This is to control your visibility status. When you tap on it, you have the option to go invisible (offline) for 24 hours. So during that period of time you will never be seen online and still lurk in the Amino

• Three dots in the corner🌫

Here you can share your profile to get more followers, edit your profile and copy the link to your profile.

• Mood🌫

See those hearts floating in a bubble in my profile picture? That's the mood you have. You can actually put any emoji you want, but I believe some of them have to be unlocked with some tasks that you can find there, and you can unlock more by buying an Amino+ hip.

• Level🌫

Here's the level you have in this community. It's measured by your reputation points which you can gain by getting comments and likes, spending time in the community, chatting, getting your posts featured and your wiki entries accepted in the wiki. If you tap on it you'll be taken to a screen displaying your reputation, your check-ins, your time spent in the community and your posts created. There's also a link to the directory of all levels from Joja Employee (level 1) to Stardew Hero (level 20).

• Titles🌫

Titles are those words in a colored bubble, you can see I have Curator, Challenge Team and Purple Squad. You can get them as an award for completing a challenge, for reaching level 10, becoming Curator or Leader of the community or by being accepted in an important group in the community (like challenge, art, etc)

• Avatar🌫

This is a feature that let's you video chat using a virtual you, which you can customize. I personally don't like it, and I don't know if there's people who uses it. You can unlock new props and accessories for your avatar by buying an Amino+ hip.

• Wallet🌫

This is where your Amino coins show up. You can buy coins from there, or get some for free by completing tasks. You can buy an Amino+ hip with those coins. You can go there to find out more

• Achievements🌫

This will take you to the same screen that you get to by tapping your Level (explained four points above)

• Reputation🌫

This measures with numbers the amount of reputation you have. You will level up once you reach a certain amount of points. And if you tap on it, you'll be taken to the same screen as the previous point.

• Following & Followers🌫

Here you can basically see who's following you, and the people you follow. There's not a lot of complexity into it.

—···—·––·—★—·––·—···—

That's everything about your profile!

Now let's move on to what you can do in other people's profiles!

You can see a lot of similarities between your profile and other person's profile, but there are differences. I'll be only mentioning the things that haven't been mentioned in previous sections because I really don't want to make this post unnecessarily longer.

For reference I will be using Ruby's profile

Let's start with this, shalle we?

:arrow_backward: General :arrow_forward:

• Follow🌫

This doesn't have much explanation, but what it does is basically follow the person. The same way it is in any other social media. Before following someone, the button will look like this:

After following it will look like this:

And if you follow them, and they follow you back, it will look like this:

Sadly, there is no way to know if the person is following you without you following them. If you want to know that, you'll have to scroll through their Following tab which will take some time if the person follows a lot of people.

• Chat🌫

This button is to start a chat with the person. Once you tap it, a screen will pop up telling you to write an invite message. Once you type and send it, you'll be taken to the one-to-one chat with them, and you'll have to wait for them to .

For some reason, the autocorrect won't automatically replace words if you make a mistake when typing the invite message. Don't know of this happens to everyone, but I'm still throwing it out there.

• Reputation and Level🌫

these two from previous sections? I'm mentioning them because in other person's profile they won't take you to the same page when you tap them. Instead, you'll be taken to a directory of all the titles, including their names, their badge and how many REP points (reputation) you need to get them.

• Three dots🌫

Again, I'm talking about the three dots in the corner which I don't know how to name. Here you can do a couple of things:

Start a chat, which is the same a pressing the Chat button.

Copy Link, which is useful to tag them in a post (they won't be notified if you do so though).

Share, which is to obviously share their profile on different social media.

Add them to your favorite , which will display them in the top of the My Chats tab.

Flag for Review, which is to report them (use it when someone breaks the rules or just directly tell the mod team).

Block, which makes the person unable to chat with you and comment on your wall (not sure if there are more limitations for blocked people).
