Chat can become a torrent that is painful to navigate. Here’s how we can get the most out of Messenger: •Start with the FB Group! — If it’s an event, announcement, offer, or a community-level sharing, always post on the Facebook page, for the maximum audience. You can then cross-post into the chat, for more visibility. • Mute notifications! — If you’ve refused Messenger because you don’t want to be buzzed with every post, just disable its notifications on your phone and/or laptop. Check in with the chat only when you want to. • Use REPLY! — This creates “threading”, the best way to keep chat readable: using Reply keeps the context clear and lets people follow the whole conversation. Don’t see it? Hold or right-click the message to see the Reply icon.
• Use emoji reactions to chime in without littering chat with separate replies.
• Use polls! Use polls to gather opinions or make decisions efficiently. Click ⊕ > Create a poll. Happy Chatting.
