How do I start an event discussion?

Organizers and co-hosts can start discussions on their event to share updates and details. To start one:

  1. Go to your event and open the "Discussions" tab
  2. Write your message in "What do you want to share?"
  3. Optionally press "Add Pictures" ("Add Pics" on phones) to add up to 5 pictures, and confirm you have consent to post them
  4. Optionally press "Add Poll" to ask a question. Read more in How do polls work?
  5. Choose who can see the discussion with the privacy menu
  6. Press "Post"

You can also post from the "Discussions" section on the event's main page.

Who can see a discussion

For Public, FetLifers, and Friends events, you can choose:

  • FetLifers (default): Anyone who can see the event
  • Going & Interested In: Only people who RSVPed "Going" or "Interested"
  • Going Only: Only people who RSVPed "Going"

For private events, you can choose:

  • Everyone Invited (default): Everyone who can see the event
  • Going & Maybe: Only people who RSVPed "Going" or "Maybe"
  • Going Only: Only people who RSVPed "Going"

If a private event is request-only, "Everyone Invited" discussions are only visible to people who RSVPed "Going" or "Maybe".

Organizers and co-hosts can always see every discussion. Whoever posted a discussion can change who can see it later by editing it.

People who aren't logged in never see event discussions, even on public events.

Getting notified about discussions

Event notifications are turned on for you when you create an event or RSVP "Going" or "Interested". To turn them on or off for a specific event, go to the event, press "More" (or "..." in the "You're going!" box if you RSVPed "Going"), and choose "Turn On Event Notifications" or "Turn Off Event Notifications". You can turn these notifications on or off for push and email in your notification settings, under "Someone started a discussion in an event you've turned notifications on for".
