IMPORTANT UPDATES!

ohHEY is now being collectively run by a small gaggle of members!

We have a new Instagram account for the community! @ohheycommunity

NEW ohHEY community url: https://ohheycommunity.mn.co/ 

If you have any questions, please reach out to Emanuela on the ohHEY platform – or at ohheycommunity@gmail.com (if you find yourself not able to access the platform).

VIRTUAL TOUR

We’ve added a few ORIENTATION VIDEOS that walk through (most of) the different areas of ohHEY… a few things may have changed since making these, but here they are!

YOUR PROFILE

You can find your personal settings by clicking on your photo/icon in the top right corner > “personal settings” > “edit profile”.

Try to do at least these TWO things:

ONE. Please use a photo of your face… in an effort towards collective safety & real connection.

TWO. Add your location & time zone (so that event times show up for you in your time zone, AND we can get a feel for who might be near us out the world!)

WHERE TO START

Nervous or uncertain about where/how to engage with this new community? …here are some suggestions, for less overwhelm!

START WITH THE EVENTS!

You’ll see the Events listing at the top left (in the app and the browser window).

ABOUT THE EVENT LISTING

This listing pulls from all other areas of the community, so ALL events will show up here.

ABOUT THE EVENTS

It’s in these sessions where this will all make the most sense (we think)… this is where we’re connecting… with our faces, and voices, and our creative care practices …like art, and writing, and listening to (and sharing) stories.

These gatherings are VERY casual and low barrier to show up in. You can be tired, chatty, quiet, wiggly, laying down, standing up, pacing, bed-headed, cheerful, cranky… you can be following along with our shared prompt/activity… or not. You can engage in conversation, or not. You can show up quietly, not wanting to chat …camera on, or off.

LOTS OF DIFFERENT WAYS

A very big part of this community is us modelling for (and with) each other all sorts of different ways of showing up IN space together …IN community together. There’s no one right/proper way to show up.

There are LOTS of different ways that we can do this …this community, this creative life.

WHENEVER YOU’RE READY

Pop in to some events and meet the LOVELY folks here!

NOTIFICATIONS

Currently, it seems that the “daily digest” option for notifications is deeply inadequate. It is VERY limited in what it includes, so please don’t rely on that to get a sense of what’s going on here, you’ll miss a lot.

Hopefully that’s something the Mighty Networks team is working to improve …in the meantime, our suggestions:

ADJUST YOUR PERSONAL NOTIFICATION SETTINGS

You can find these by clicking on your profile pic (top right corner) …your account > personal settings > notifications.

AS ACTIVITY HAPPENS

Selecting “as activity happens” will land a LOT of emails in your inbox …which isn’t awesome, BUT it might be a good option in the beginning as you get used to checking-in on this new platform (building new habits takes repetition) …and then once it becomes more of a habit, you can switch that off again.

YOU DON’T NEED TO READ THEM

As the emails show up in your inbox, you don’t need to read them …but they can be visual reminders (for those of us that may appreciate that), that you can just delete …and that provide little nudges/reminders to check in.

CHECK IN, AND ADJUST

There are quite a few notification settings, so play around, see what works for YOU …for getting started & in the habit of checking in …and then later, what works ongoing.

EVENTS, RSVP’s, REMINDERS…

RSVP’s

RSVP to anything you’re even remotely interested in attending …you are never obligated to attend anything, but RSVP-ing will give you reminder notifications about 10min before each event.

EVENT LISTINGS

Try to build a habit of checking the EVENT listings page regularly (top left) …we have frequent (and often short notice) additions, by several community members!

ADD TO CALENDAR

Use the “Add to Calendar” option for individual events, that can be found on each event post. There are also options for syncing with your calendar.

CALENDAR SYNC

Use this if you want to subscribe to all ohHEY events and/or all events you’ve RSVP’d to.
(this may only be an option if you’re using the Mighty Networks app).

ONE. Go to the EVENTS listing page (this can be found from the icon at the top left).
TWO. Click on the calendar icon (top right).
THREE. Click the 3-dots icon (top right)
FOUR. Select the “Sync to my calendar” option… and either “sync my RSVPs” or  “sync all events”.

SELF REMINDERS

Give some thought to what works for YOU, to remember to do the things that you want to do. No guilt, no shame… whatever works. You may want to manually add events into your personal calendar, to block off the time even if you’re not certain you’ll go (you can always delete it if you decide not to go, but this way you don’t have to worry about remembering/forgetting about it entirely ….because there it is, in your calendar). You might also want to try using phone reminders (with pleasant, not-too-loud sounds) …not as an alarm, but as a supportive reminder to do a thing that you want to do.

FOLLOW OTHER MEMBERS

Follow all (or some) ohHEY members, to receive notifications of their activity (eg: posting new events!).

IT’S NOT WEIRD

We promise you it’s not creepy to follow folks within ohHEY. It’s really just a logistics thing – making sure that you’re getting notifications from the folks that you want to.

THE STEPS

There are TWO parts…

ONE. Click on “MEMBERS” (top left corner). Click “TOP” (from the options along the top of the MEMBERS page). Find the person that you want to follow, roll your cursor over their block, and you’ll see an option to “FOLLOW” …click that.

TWO. You will ALSO need to have a particular notification option turned on for this to work… go to your PERSONAL SETTINGS (top right corner). Click on “NOTIFICATIONS”, and make sure you have “activity from members you follow” selected.

APP vs BROWSER

If you’re planning to access this community on your phone, we definitely recommend using the Mighty Networks app rather than just your browser …everything just works/looks better.
