I am new to the site is there a forum to explain how the site works and how to navigate it?
There isn’t (that i know of), and there should be, up near the top of the Forum section.
You’ve already found the Videos and Pics sections, at least for posting. What other areas you explore will mostly depend on your interests.
If you like reading fictional stories of many kinds with fat protagonists, check out the Stories section. If, like me (when Big Tech isn’t busy slaughtering me, as it is currently) you’re a fat lit writer yourself or want to give it a go, likely many of us here could enjoy fiction you write and post.
Some people are here for making friends, and/or dating. They might spend time in the Profiles section, seeking matches of interest.
A lot of people apparently like the live chat, which used to be more of a feature on some other sites in our online fatosphere community, but has gone away on some of those other sites. I don’t use it myself, so i cannot tell you more.
Much of the activity is here in the Forum section. The key here is that it’s somewhat like a library: organized by topic in categories. It’s good to spend some time exploring the categories, reading what others are typing about, and what sorts of content best fit which Forum sections. I read only for quite awhile before i felt comfortable posting. Other people feel differently and jump right in. You’ll know what works for you.
People you follow’s posts will show up featured under the house icon. The resulting page has two tabs: Following (the default), and Shouts. Tapping the Shouts tab has Fantasy Feeder’s version of a real-time timeline. It’s quieter here than some other sites, but there are brief entries on Shouts that show up nowhere else. Shouts also features excerpts of the latest Forum posts, so it’s a good place to catch up on the newest posts across all Forum sections.
There’s more, but that hopefully will get you started, and you’ll discover other aspects of the site as you explore. I’ll strive to write up something more complete and coherent, likely along with others here, and hopefully get it up at an easily discoverable location.
