Step 1: Come on in! Get the app and register.

For Android:

• Click the Google Play link in your invitation email to download the Okuna app to your Android device.
• After the Okuna app is installed on your device, go back to your invitation email.
• To set up your Okuna account, copy the second link in your invitation email (Okuna social) and paste it into the signup form in the Okuna app.

For iOS:

• Click the TestFlight link in your invitation email to download Testflight and the Okuna app to your iPhone or iPad. Don’t download TestFlight directly from the App Store. The special link in the email is customized to download Okuna.
• After the Okuna app is installed on your device, go back to your invitation email.
• To set up your Okuna account, copy the second link in your invitation email (okuna.social) and paste it into the signup form in the Okuna app.

“I signed up and logged in, but I logged out and I forgot my username.” 

Use the app’s “forgot password?” feature. Enter your email and Okuna will send you your username.

Step 2: Tell everyone about you! Fill out your profile.

Share a little about yourself on your profile page to help the community get to know you. Feel like changing your username? Go to your profile and click “Edit profile.” Enter the new username you want and click save.

Step 3: Grab some great content for your timeline.

Find communities that match your interests in /c/communityfinder. Join /c/okuna for app updates, feedback, and chatter. Introduce yourself and find interesting people to follow in /c/introductions. Tap the “Search” tab to see trending posts. This is also a good place to find interesting people to follow.

Step 4: Decide who sees what you share.

You decide whether a post will be public or private before you share it.

Use circles to control who sees different types of private posts. (Similar to friend groups on Facebook.) When you add a connection to a circle, that connection will see the posts you share with that circle.

Step 5: Start posting!

“I’m on my profile page but I don’t see a “post” button. How do I make a post?”

To make a post, go to your home screen (timeline) or to any community that you have joined.
