Favorites & Saving Content
The heart icon on posts isn't a public "like" - it's a way to save content for later. When you click the heart icon on a post, you're adding it to your personal favorites collection. Favorites help you save posts you want to revisit, and they also help LavishMade curate your feed with content you're interested in.
How Favorites Work
Unlike traditional social media "likes," favorites in LavishMade are:
- Private: Only you can see what you've favorited - it's not a public action
- For Saving: Think of favorites as bookmarks to save posts you want to revisit
- Feed Curation: Favoriting tags and categories helps personalize your feed
- Personal Collection: Build your own curated collection of content you love
How to Favorite a Post
- Find a post you want to save
- Click or tap the heart icon on the post
- The heart will fill in with gold to show it's been favorited
- Click it again to unfavorite and remove it from your collection
You can favorite posts, blog posts, deep dives, photos, and more. All your favorites are saved in one place.
Viewing Your Favorites
You can view all your favorited content:
- Favorites Page: Go to your favorites page to see all saved content
- Filter by Type: Filter by content type (posts, blog posts, deep dives, photos, etc.)
- Private Collection: Your favorites are private - only you can see what you've saved
- Easy Access: Quickly find posts you've saved for later reading or reference
Favoriting Tags and Categories
Favoriting isn't just for posts - you can also favorite hashtags and interest categories to help curate your feed:
Favorite Hashtags
- When you favorite a hashtag, LavishMade will show you more content with that tag in your feed
- Helps you discover posts about topics you're interested in
- Content from users you don't follow can appear in your feed if it matches your favorited tags
- Great for following specific topics or themes across the platform
Favorite Interest Categories
- Favoriting interest categories (like Books, Movies, Art, Photography) helps curate your feed
- LavishMade will show you more content related to your favorited interests
- Helps personalize your dashboard feed with relevant content
- Discover new creators and content based on your interests
How Favorites Help Curate Your Feed
Your favorites play an important role in personalizing your LavishMade experience:
- Content Discovery: Favoriting tags and interests helps LavishMade understand what you like
- Feed Personalization: Your dashboard feed becomes more relevant to your interests
- Discover New Creators: See content from users you don't follow if it matches your favorited tags/interests
- Better Recommendations: The more you favorite, the better LavishMade gets at showing you content you'll enjoy
This helps LavishMade understand what you're interested in and surface more relevant content in your feed, even from users you don't follow. It's a powerful way to discover new content and creators.
