How can we help?

How do I create an account?

Choose Sign up and pick a username, your email and a password. You can also sign up with a social account or a Solana wallet if those buttons show. Your account works straight away.

How do I post a meme?

Press Create (the + button), then upload an image, GIF or a YouTube or Instagram link, or make one from scratch in the Creator Studio. A title and a genre are needed; everything else is optional.

What's the difference between a meme and a post?

A meme is an image, GIF or video. A post is a short text update, like a tweet, with @mentions. Both show in feeds, and for each one you choose who can see it: everyone, your followers, or only you.

How does search work?

Use the search bar at the top. Results are grouped into memes, people, community threads and posts, and you can narrow to one kind. Search by #tag to find memes with that tag.

How do I invite friends?

Copy your invite link from Settings → Invite friends or the share menu and send it to them. When someone joins with your link and posts their first meme, you get 5 XP. Each person can only be invited once.

Can I see the welcome tour again?

Yes. Go to Settings → Interests & tour and choose Replay the tour. You can also change the genres you picked there; they shape your For you wall.

What can I do in the Creator Studio?

Start from a blank canvas, a template or your own picture, then add text and stickers, crop, resize and adjust the image. Your work saves as a draft as you go, so you can come back to it, and you can post now or schedule it for later.

How do I remix someone's meme?

Open the meme's ••• menu and choose Remix in Studio. The finished meme links back to the original and its creator.

Can I add my own template?

Yes. On the Templates page choose Upload a template. Templates from members are checked by staff before they appear.

Why is there a fedora.meme watermark?

Memes made in the Studio carry a small watermark so they can be traced back here when they're shared elsewhere.

How do I earn XP?

Posting a meme earns 5 XP. You also earn when people like (1), comment on (1), save (1) or repost (2) your memes, and for starting and replying to community threads. Your XP & Levels page shows every point.

Why did I stop earning XP today?

Each kind of action has a daily limit, for example 20 XP from posting and 25 XP from likes. Limits count the last 24 hours, so room comes back bit by bit. XP & Levels shows what's left and when more opens up.

What's the difference between Lifetime and Available XP?

Lifetime XP is everything you've ever earned. It sets your level and your place on the leaderboard and never goes down. Available XP is what you can spend on boosts or swap for $DORA. Spending it never lowers your level or rank.

How do I swap XP for $DORA?

Link a Solana wallet in Settings → Wallet & $DORA, then go to fedora.foundation and connect that same wallet. The swap takes Available XP from here; your level stays the same.

What are badges and how do I get them?

Badges show next to your name. Some you buy in the Badge shop with a card, Available XP or $DORA, and keep for good; others are given by staff, for example for winning a battle. Choose which ones show in Settings → Badges.

What is a boost?

A boost shows one of your memes, posts, threads or collectives to more people, marked Promoted, in feeds and the sidebar. Boost anything of yours from its ••• menu.

How much does a boost cost, and how long does it run?

You choose a budget from $1.00. Each 1,000 views costs $2.00, and the boost keeps running until its budget is used up. You can add budget or end it any time from Your boosts.

How can I pay?

By card (through Stripe), with Available XP (500 XP per $1), or with $DORA from a Solana wallet. Every boost and top-up gets a receipt.

Do I get money back if I end a boost early?

No. Budget that hasn't been used isn't refunded when you end a boost early, and XP spent on a boost can't be returned.

How do tips work?

Tips are sent in $DORA straight from someone's wallet to yours; fedora.meme never holds the money. To receive tips, link a wallet in Settings → Wallet & $DORA. Tips you've received and their receipts are listed there.

What are collectives?

Collectives are groups built around a shared interest, with their own feed, board and chat. Browse Collectives, join the ones you like, or start your own. You can post a meme straight into a collective.

How do community threads work?

The Community has spaces for different topics. Start a thread, reply, react, and follow threads to hear about new replies.

How do I mention someone?

Type @ and start typing their username in a comment, post or reply, then pick them from the list. They get a notification.

How do I send a direct message?

Open someone's profile and press the message button, or start one from Messages.

How do I change which emails I get?

Choose per kind of activity in Settings → Notifications, or use the Email preferences link at the bottom of any email (no login needed).

How do I download or delete my data?

In Settings → Account choose Download my data for a copy of everything, or Delete account. Deleting removes your login, profile and personal details straight away; memes and replies you posted stay up as "Deleted User" so conversations still make sense.

Who can see my gender?

Nobody, unless you choose. Gender is optional, and it only shows on your profile if you turn on Show my gender on my profile in Edit profile.

How do I report or block someone?

Use the ••• menu on any post or profile. Blocking stops them seeing your content or messaging you. Reports go to the moderators.
