<summary>Whats the difference between my For you and Following feeds? </summary>

The For You page recommends posts based on your interests and activity, while the Following feed only shows posts from creators you have manually followed. This allows you to balance discovering fresh talent with keeping up with your personal favorites.

<summary>How do I use custom emotes and badges in chat? </summary>

You can use custom emotes in both comments and chat after you subscribe to a creator. Open the face icon in the comment or message box, then pick the creator’s subscriber emotes (look for the star icon or their cover emote) to add them to your message.

<summary>Why can't I chat with a creator or another user? </summary>

You can’t chat with someone if you don’t meet the platform’s chat rules. As a user, you must have an active subscription to a creator to start a chat, and you can’t chat directly with other users.&#x20;
