This guide helps users through creating, editing, sharing, and deleting posts on the platform. Users can create posts with text, images, videos, files, and location tags while selecting a visibility setting (Public, Restricted, or Private). Editing a post allows modifications to text, images, files, and location before publishing updates. Sharing offers options like copying a link, reposting, mentioning with a comment, or sending to users via chat. Deleting a post involves selecting the Delete option, confirming the action, and ensuring its removal from the feed and profile.
