Jeff Cheng nice but isn't there other more low-hanging fruit? I ask because I don't understand why there is no entry in the dropdown from the ellipsis on the upper right side of a feed item that says "Find posts by this user" There are other entries like "Remove connection with <the poster>". Why not "Find posts by this user"? Right now it is a high-friction process 1. click on poster image to land on their profile (that also triggers a WVMP and I may not want that) 2. scroll down to the bottom of the "Activity" section in the profile 3. click on "Show all Activity"
It is a great start but should let you tag people in the message when sending to a group. Btw this was a life saving update as the app messaging feature was totally broken. I also think that this is time to add a radio and podcast mode in chat / groups. LinkedIn needs more community tools like discord’s.
Also suggest allowing a page to share posts.
This is great Jeff Cheng!!
Hi Jeff. This is a great new feature. Q: is there a limit to how many people you can select to send the post to? Is there a different limit for the number in a group vs send separately? This reminds me of when we used to be able to send messages to up to 50 connections at once. I know that spamming was an issue with that and it was discontinued. This feature is connected to posts, which is much better. But seeing the similarity is what made me think there might be limits to it.
Hey Jeff! Will it be possible for the original post creator to see how many times their posts have been sent?
Do you have to create the group every time? Jeff Cheng
It might be me, Jeff Cheng, but I see nothing resembling that feature on desktop or mobile. Is it deprecated? Thank you.
Jeff Cheng is this feature on mobile or desktop? Or both?
