Profile<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAdd a photo, a bio, a location and a URL. All straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To change – it’s edit profile or settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You get assigned a random type username, which you can change to something nicer. Though it looks like your Display Name is what everyone sees, so, it’s a vanity thing I guess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minor niggle – I can’t find any way to add a banner image. BLOODY HELL – there are no banner images! The system takes the profile image and uses it, in various crops, for everything. So, having the perfect profile image is definitely something to work on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
…<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe three little dots – that seems to be key for creators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It gives you access to a bunch of things but most critically, your Vault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Content<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nYou can only post TEXT posts until you have loaded stuff – Images, Video, Advices and Sprints (need to explore what they are) to your Vault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vault<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you want to post pics and vids etc, you must FIRST upload them to your vault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then wait for them to be Moderated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THEN they are available for posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uploading Images<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIt asks for Collaborators to be tagged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Solo stuff<\/strong>, no problem, no Collaborator.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSelect Category – doesn’t produce a drop down or autofill list of categories. Is it a freeform tag list? Not sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I tried the search box on the front page, but that seems to be linked to finding Creators by name rather than content items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, right now, not sure what the Category does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BG stuff – or anything with other people<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFreyja guidelines say :-<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Freyja guidelines are based on 4 overarching questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Is the content on the red or amber list?<\/li>
- Does the content shown cause temporary or permanent harm or injury?<\/li>
- Is it illegal?<\/li>
- Are any performers depicted that have not given consent via the Freyja platform?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
How do I get my co-performers to give consent via the Freyja platform? You ask them to join Freyja, and when they do, you tag them as a collab and upload your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Videos<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nSeems to be as images, but you need a jpeg as well. Couldn’t test as all my content is BG…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Advices<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nSeems to be a strange word for freeform text posts, aka usually Blogs…anyway…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I typed “Stuff I did in the 90’s is still online. God I look young!” and it kept autodeleting. At first I thought I was hitting a character limit, but I changed the words and it passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think they are autobanning words. This is something I hate. It doesn’t allow for context. It’s too blunt. Given that everything else in the vault is moderated, Advices should be moderated too, if they’re worried. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Advices don’t seem to get dropped in the TL, but stay on your Profile. So Post that you have added an Advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sprints<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nNot played with these, as have no solo content…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, issues\/confusions :-<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nMy Advices didn’t hit the TL, so I did a Post about it, and that didn’t either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I tried a new test post and that also, didn’t hit the TL. Is this a Moderation queue thing? Something else? An AI that spots “testing” type posts and winnows them? Unclear. (UPDATE, later that evening, the posts appeared in the TL, so, don’t panic, just wait a bit \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It looks like the Vault is also on your Profile page, but it isn’t. Only the Vault items you have actually PUBLISHED will appear. And, if you add a Vault image to a Post, that is not counted as publishing the Vault item. This is actually a GOOD thing, because it means that while you might have loads of content in your Vault to use in Posts, only your select best shows up on your publish profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI like it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though it’s a bit annoying the way they have limited consent to Freyja members, I can see the logic and benefits for production going forward. Just add, “get everyone to verify on Freyja” to the todo list at collabs along with certs, ID’s, releases….<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are some where seem to be loose ends, but I daresay these will become sorted over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That it isn’t American is a bonus – the legal\/political system over there is too unpredictable for our industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Updates (stuff I noticed later as I used it)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Collabs :<\/strong> To be able to collab, you first of all need them to join and get through the verification process. Then, if you have their full URL, you can find them and Collab – they get a friend request and need to approve.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSearch : <\/strong>Search seems to not work. If your friend says “I’ve joined” you can’t find them. But it does find people with content.<\/p>\n
