Walkthrough

Open Browse → Moments or Search

Start local — Moments shows hangouts; Search finds handles and names.

After open browse → moments or search, pause and confirm on-screen names, counts, and amounts match what you discussed in chat. Buea and campus circles often coordinate pickup at a familiar gate right after this step.

Help: FAQ index

After you finish

Log out and back in once if balances or invites look stale — sync can lag a minute after web checkout or large squad updates.

Share what worked with one friend in Buea or campus chat; friend-led discovery beats guessing from empty feeds.
