Creating a Carbon account is simple, once you’ve installed MetaMask and set up a wallet.

  3. Follow the prompts and sign MetaMask to prove ownership of the wallet.

  6. Set up your profile including your profile picture, display name, bio, website and more.

What is the user ratings system and how do I use it?2024-02-11T03:19:21+00:00

Carbon allows you to set a rating for every user, from 1 to 10. The default for all users is 5, until you change it.

Users with higher ratings will feature more prominently in your content feeds. Users with lower ratings will feature less.

This system allows you to customise your feed and see more from the users you like the most.

The users will not know how you have rated them, it is private and there are no notifications. You can change the ratings any time.

To set a user rating, visit their profile page and click on the “5/10” button which shows their rating is currently 5/10.

How do reacts and upvotes work?2024-02-11T03:23:25+00:00

Carbon has 2 methods of reacting to a post or comment – Upvotes and Reacts.

Upvotes (and downvotes) help to sort the posts for all users. It works a little like Reddit. If a post receives a lot of upvotes, it moves up the feed in its topic and also in the global feed and follow feed.

Reacts simply allow you to publicly react to a post. For example you might upvote a post, and then react with a sad emoji. This could show you appreciate the post, but the content made you sad.

The combination of these methods of reacting results in a good quality feed for all users, as well as allowing everyone to react appropriately without punishing the post creator.

Reacts (the emojis) do not affect a post or comment’s performance – only the upvotes/downvotes do.

Can I upload videos onto Carbon?2024-02-11T03:27:15+00:00

Not at this stage. You can however embed YouTube videos easily, with the YouTube icon button in the post creation area.

In future we will look into the possibility of allowing video uploads.

How do the different content feeds (Global, Topics, Following and Carbon Live) work?2024-02-11T03:37:26+00:00

Carbon has 4 main content feeds. All are sortable by “Best” or “Newest”.

Global feed: This shows the best posts from all topics and all users, through the entire app. This is useful for users who have not joined yet or are not logged in, but it also introduces all users to new topics and users they might not have seen before.

My Topics feed: This shows the best posts ONLY from within Topics you are following. For example if you are following “Cars” “Movies” and “Food” you will only see posts from these 3 topics, in your My Topics feed.

Following feed: This feed only shows posts from users you are following. It will include all topics.

Carbon Live feed: This feed shows only Carbon Live posts, from users you are following. For more info on Carbon Live posts see the FAQ “What is Carbon Live?”.

If you are following a lot of topics, the best feed for you might be the “My Topics” feed because it will be full of posts that interest you. The Global feed is great for fresh discovery.

What is Carbon Live and how do I create a Carbon Live post?2024-02-21T05:07:29+00:00
