Help Me

Glossary

Community opens on Events, on purpose. Posts exist, and they are a local conversation, not a national social network.

Short answer

Community posts are the local conversation in Help Me. Signed-in people can post, comment, and react, with events shown first. Posts persist, and report and block tools apply. A community post is not a help request: a dead battery belongs on the live map, not in a thread.

The facts, in one place

  • Events come first, then updates from people here.
  • You need an account to post.
  • A post is not a help request.
  • Report and block apply everywhere.

Events first, then updates

The first feeling in Community should be that Fargo-Moorhead has things going on, not that you walked into a blank feed. Events are included and attributed. Updates are the human layer: posts, comments, and reactions from people who live here.

What a post is, and is not

You need an account, and posts persist. A post is not a substitute for a help request. A dead battery belongs on the live map, shown privately to helpers nearby, not argued over in forty comments. Use a post for local conversation, and a request for a hand.

The same tools

Report and block apply here too. Help Me is a community app for adults. Harassment, spam, and anything unlawful do not belong, and our team can act on reports. You can report or block any member at any time.

Help Me is not an emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.

Questions people actually ask

It is a local, signed-in conversation with events first. It is not a national social network, and it is not where a live help request is answered.

Yes. Posts, comments, reactions, and reports all belong to a person.

No. Post a request on the live map so helpers nearby can see it privately.

Help Me is a community app for adults in Fargo–Moorhead. It is not a K–12 student program, not a youth chat, and not campus police.
