Filtering the Main Stream

Filtering the Main Stream

Above the Main Stream, you’ll see a drop-down menu that allows you to select a community you belong to and see only posts from that class in the Main Stream. 
  1. All Communities shows all Main Stream posts from all communities, including those shared to the Main Stream from communities. This will show work from every single student on the platform.
  2. All My Communities shows all of the posts have that been shared to the Main Stream from any of your communities.
  3. Community-Specific Posts can be viewed by choosing the name of that community from the filter drop-down. 
Once you’ve selected your community filter, you can also filter by student groups or organizations. As you make your selections, posts are filtered automatically.

Note: Students don’t have all three filters; they can only filter by community or by organization.
