Writing a comment in MigraineMe is a small, friendly thing. You are not posting on a big public website. You are talking to other people who also have migraines, inside the app. There is no rush, and no test. Take your time.
This guide is the same on iPhone and Android.
Getting to a post you want to comment on
- Open MigraineMe.
- Tap the small people icon at the top-right of the screen. The community opens.
- At the top, tap the Forum tab.
- Scroll through the posts. They are written by other members.
- Tap any post that looks interesting. The full post opens, and below it you will see other people's comments.
Writing your comment
- Scroll to the bottom of the post.
- You will see a small box that says Write a reply....
- Tap inside the box. Your keyboard will pop up.
- Type a few sentences. There is no minimum, and a single sentence is fine. A short paragraph is fine too.
- When you are happy with what you wrote, tap the small send icon (a little paper plane) next to the box. That sends your comment.
A short pause is normal. Then your comment will appear under the post with your display name and picture next to it.
A few friendly conventions
These are not rules. They are just what most people in the community do.
- Speak from your own experience. "This helped me..." reads kindly. "You should..." can sound bossy.
- It is okay to ask a question. Other members are usually happy to answer.
- You do not have to share anything you are not comfortable sharing. Vague is fine.
- It is okay to disagree. Please be polite about it.
If you spot a typo
You cannot edit a comment after sending it. But you can delete it and write a new one.
- Find your own comment under the post.
- Next to your name, you will see a small bin icon. It only appears on your own comments.
- Tap it. The comment is removed.
- Write a new comment in its place.
If your comment disappears
MigraineMe has an automatic moderation step that checks comments for harmful content. Almost every normal comment passes straight through. If yours was held back, you will see a small message inside the app letting you know it is under review, and that it will be restored shortly if it was flagged by mistake.
If that happens:
- Read your comment again with fresh eyes.
- Rewrite it more softly if needed and try again.
- If you are sure it was fine, you can email help@migraineme.app.
Coming back later
Other people may reply to your comment. When they do, a small number will appear on the community icon at the top of the home screen. Tap it to see what they said.
That is it. You are now part of the conversation.
