Setting up your Tribe

An important part of maintaining and growing your Tribe is interacting with your Tribers, keeping them engaged and up to date with your activities.

You can use the Tribes posting tool to interact directly with your Tribers.

Please bear in mind: Your Tribers will receive a MyMiniFactory inbox and an email notification every time you share a Post.

To write a new post, navigate to your Tribes edit page by hovering over your profile picture, and selecting ‘Tribes’ from the drop-down menu.

This takes you to your Tribes Settings. To create a new Tribes post, select posts in the top menu and then select new post (top left).
