Only people or companies that have either A) Sent you a Lynx request and you have accepted or B) You have sent a Lynx request and they have accepted can see your profile, If you use the option of "Favorite" with the red ribbon turned on when adding "Lynx", then only the "Lynxs" that you have suggested as your favorites will be able to see "your" posts on the newsfeed and "your" profile information. If you do not use the "favorite" function when adding "Lynxs" as well as when posting to your newsfeed, then all "Lynxs" you have added will see everything you post and your profile will be 100% viewable to any connection you have accepted or sent and the receiving person or company has accepted. These measures are in place for you to be able to feel comfortable posting to your newsfeed and be viewable by a group of people that are closer to you than people that you work with or who you may have just met.

No, currently there is no functionality to have people in groups, or to create pages for businesses or people. We see it more importantly to connect people using what is the most important part of the meaning of Rig Lynx, which is people to people connections. Here at Rig Lynx, people are our most important asset and for that, we see your connection to your other Lynx members the same.

Essentially your selection of favorite in the Add Lynx option, which is notated by a gray ribbon to the right of each of your connection takes the place of follow on other platforms, with the combination of the Lynx connection coupled with the favorite and "Not" favorite functionality there is no need to have a follow function, you simply connect and pick favorite by turning the ribbon to red from gray.

At Rig Lynx we don't use thumbs up or hearts, we use the 5 star system as a rating for your newsfeed post. When you scroll through the newsfeed you will see that the number of each star that is selected will populate in the center of the star, this allows for you to decide if this is something that you are interested in reading more of or that rates high. In most cases with other platforms, you cannot tell how good the post is by just the numbers of thumbs up or likes that it gets, so this is in place to help you interact more with posts that are relevant to you and not to the people that gave it a 1 star, if a post has nothing but 1 star, then you most certainly will avoid it. If a post has 1 thumbs up or 1 like on your other platforms, you can't actually tell if it's something you will like or not so you spend valuable time looking through some posts that are not relevant or meaningful. The same way you book a Hotel, if a Hotel has 1 star, you most likely wouldn't give your time to the place, same way with a post on the newsfeed. This also enables people to become more creative to get a higher rating on their posts. Become a 5 star Newsfeed phenomenon today!

These identifying elements makes it easy to see your position and that you are open for opportunities with just a scan through the newsfeed. Here with Rig Lynx you don't need to have a verified account to get recognition, you have that as a paying subscriber because you are awesome!

Alternatively you can also tap on your connections profile picture on the newsfeed and select the same option at the upper right hand corner of the Lynx profile screen.

This ribbon is the favorite functionality, when you want to post something to your newsfeed and only want a select few people to see this then you can tap on a Lynx or search for a Lynx and once you locate them you can tap on the ribbon and turn it from gray to red. Thus creating a group to post to and not to everyone. Note: This feature is only good for continuous posting to the same group, currently if you have a selection of favorites in your Lynx connection list and you post a single post to them, then go in and change those favorite connections to someone else and the post again, it will open your previous post up to the favorites you have now selected as new. We will be updating this in the future as this is not the intended purpose of a having a favorite added to a post, all posts in the future will be unique in nature and will have favorites associated with each, will update you when it is in place.
