LavishMade

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 Deep Dive. Every user has their own automatically created "Favorites" deep dive where all favorited content is saved. 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:

  • Saved to Your Favorites Deep Dive: Every item you favorite is automatically added to your personal "Favorites" deep dive - a special deep dive created just for you
  • Private by Default: Only you can see what you've favorited - it's not a public action (though you can make your Favorites deep dive public if you want to share it)
  • 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, organized in your Favorites deep dive

How to Favorite a Post

  1. Find a post you want to save
  2. Click or tap the heart icon on the post
  3. The heart will fill in with gold to show it's been favorited
  4. The item is automatically added to your "Favorites" deep dive
  5. Click it again to unfavorite and remove it from your Favorites deep dive

You can favorite posts, blog posts, deep dives, photos, tags, interests, and more. All your favorites are automatically saved to your personal "Favorites" deep dive, where you can organize, customize, and manage them just like any other deep dive.

Viewing Your Favorites

All your favorited content is saved in your personal Favorites Deep Dive. You can view and manage your favorites:

  • Favorites Deep Dive: Every user has an automatically created "Favorites" deep dive where all favorited content is saved
  • Deep Dive Features: Your Favorites deep dive works just like any other deep dive - you can reorder items, add custom titles and descriptions, change the layout, and more
  • Privacy Control: Your Favorites deep dive is private by default, but you can make it public or visible to friends if you want to share your favorites
  • Easy Access: Quickly find posts you've saved for later reading or reference
  • Organize Your Collection: Use the deep dive features to organize and customize how your favorites are displayed

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.

Best Practices

  • Favorite posts you want to revisit or reference later - they'll be saved to your Favorites deep dive

  • Use your Favorites deep dive to organize and customize how your saved content is displayed

Tip: Favorites are more than just bookmarks - they're a way to tell LavishMade what you're interested in.
