Start a conversation

Write and publish a new post.

A conversation is a post you share so others can read it, reply, and vote. Starting one is how you put your idea in front of the people who trust you and hear what they think.

Where to find it: Click the purple Post button in the left sidebar, or the box at the top of your home page that asks what is on your mind. On a phone, tap Create in the middle of the bottom bar.

Write your post

  1. Open the composer with Post or Create.
  2. Type a title if you want one. The title is optional.
  3. Write what you want to say in the box below.
  4. Add a picture with the image button, or turn on text formatting with the Aa button. The chart icon is Add a poll. See polls.
  5. Click Post when you're ready.

Need more room? On a wider screen, the arrows button at the end of the tool row is Open full editor. It moves what you wrote to a full page with Save draft and Publish buttons. It is hidden while a poll is on.

After you post, UpTrust shows your conversation to people who are likely to care about it, based on who trusts you and the topics you wrote about.

Not ready to post?

Click Save as Draft instead, and your post waits for you on the Drafts page. See Save a draft to learn more.

Once it's live, people can reply and vote. You can edit or delete it too.
