Nice video, and very helpful to new users. I'm adding it to my Tips and Tricks sheet. If you do a second video, here's some more tips
How to Filter
Click on your image in the upper right Go to Settings Select Filters Add a new filter Select all filter contexts, and set to drop instead of hide. For SPAM you can add their domain name (example.com) and not have to worry about keeping up with changes Save new filter Click on "Back to Gab Social" at top left
How to Find People With Similar Interests If someone posts something of interest, click on their profile and see who they follow. After a while you will find many people with similar interests. After following someone, click on the star next to the follow button to add them to your shortcuts. Look through the people I'm following. You'll see some familiar names.
Create a list (click List in left home panel) and name it by category, add multiple members in the list. When you open the list, the newest posts from the members will populate the list.
Groups Search through the categories of groups to find ones that interest you. Give the page a bit of time to refresh Many groups were set to private to avoid spam. Click on the Request to Join and they will let you in After joining a group, click the star next to Member button to add to your shortcuts. Post in groups, interact and follow other people, create great content, and you can build up a following pretty quickly.
