The Epic Guide For Learning To Use Minds.com

Minds is always changing so be aware that this guide and the subsequent tutorials and guides may not always fully reflect where Minds is at given an update makes a significant change. I will try to keep up with these and update them as needed. You can refer to this roadmap for updates on the way: https://gitlab.com/groups/minds/-/roadmap

I will also update here the last time it was updated and the changes:

*Note that Minds tokenomics have changed, you can buy and sell Minds, and you can withdraw but require Minds+ now. Will need to make updates eventually*

💡 September 4th: added table of contents, numbering, formatting, changed order of tutorials, and added descriptions 💡

Hey everyone so this epic resource which I hope will eventually be your go to for everything is going to be a work in progress so that if I'm missing anything people can let me know and request things I cover. I will add everything I have and plan to cover and you can give me feedback!
