How Do I Create a Post in My Mighty Network?

Learn how to create a post with images, videos, files and more

Updated yesterday

A Post is a simple way to share a short update, images, a video, or a link with your members. You can also add a file.

Posts show up in the Feed of a Space by default.

Turning Posts On or Off

To change this setting, go to:
Space > Gear Icon > Features > Manage.


Here, you can:

  • Allow everyone to make Posts, or

  • Limit Posts to Hosts and Moderators.



How to Create a Post

On web: go to your Feed and start a Post

On mobile: open the Mighty Networks iOS or Android app and tap the pencil icon at the bottom.


You can add or create:

  • A single photo or up to 6 photos

  • A video file

  • A video link (YouTube, Vimeo etc..)

  • A file

  • Add a background image

  • GIF

  • Emojis

Adding Text to Images

If you post a single image, you can add text either:

  • Below the image (like a caption), or

  • On top of the image (making it the background).

Tap or click the corner prompt to switch between these options.



Image Sizes

Post images show in either:

  • 21:9 (horizontal), or

  • 3:4 (vertical).

The 3:4 ratio works best if you want the image as a background. If not, any size will display as uploaded.

Note: very wide or tall images may get cropped, but the full image shows if someone clicks on it.

Formatting

Posts do not support bold, italics or headers.
If you need those, use an Article instead.

Comments

You can turn comments on or off for any post.

Who can control comments:

  • Hosts and Moderators: on any post in their Network or Space

  • Members: only on their own posts

How it works:

  • Open the three-dot menu on a post

  • Toggle comments on or off

  • Turning them off hides existing comments, but they come back if you turn comments back on



Hashtags, GIFs, and Emojis

You can use hashtags, emojis, and GIFs in Posts, Chat, Articles, or comments.

Hashtags

  • Anyone can make hashtags.

  • Type “#” plus your text (letters, numbers, or underscores).

  • No spaces or special characters (&, $, etc.).

  • You can use more than one hashtag per post.

  • Hashtags show up in a dropdown as you type.



Clicking a hashtag shows all posts across the Network that use it (unless the content is in a Space the member can’t see).

Note: If the hashtag is in a Space a member can’t access, it won’t show up for them.

GIFs and Emojis

You can GIFs and and emojis to posts, comments, chat, or Articles.



Make it Better (AI Tool)

If you’re on the Community plan (or higher) and have AI enabled, you can highlight any text in your post and click the “Make it Better” sparkle icon.

Options include:

  • Fix spelling and grammar

  • Shorten or expand text

  • Change the tone (Casual, Fun, Professional, Sincere, Witty)
