#1 KRP RESOURCE HUB

PART ONE

Many MeWe rps advertise their roleplays on both Tumblr and AsianFanfics since the MeWe platform itself and how roleplay etiquette takes place doesn't allow outsiders to see or interact in any way, shape or form. Depending on the rp itself, they may take applications through their main account's submit box on Tumblr like any other Tumblr rp. However, some MeWe rps will implement an application process through a different platform such as Google Forms depending on the information they want or need on their applications.

Reserves on Tumblr pages are posted similar to Tumblr rp reservations. The most important thing to keep in mind is, each MeWe rp runs differently but if you have any issues or confusions, definitely reach out to the admins directly for some help and guidance. There's been a big influx of roleplayers changing platforms recently but most people have been pretty understanding about learning how to navigate new platforms and the first steps of familiarizing yourself in a new online environment.

Once you get through the process of applying online, your next step will be to create a MeWe profile. Once you get the notification from the admin team that you've been accepted, you will be expected to add any main accounts on MeWe (with links provided to you).

PART TWO

Assuming that you are new to the MeWe platform, the most important thing to know about first is that it's a social media website similar to Facebook! You will be creating a profile page for your 'muse' and the feature they have for status posts will be what you create your threads on.

Creating a user is pretty simple! Feel free to completely read through this tutorial first or go ahead and pull up the MeWe to follow step by step with the tutorial.

A few terms to keep in mind first to better understand the concept and features of MeWe:

PERSONAL LINK:

Essentially, this is another way that people can add you if they're having trouble locating your profile through the search feature. You can give them this link and it'll take them directly to your profile. The Personal Link usually defaults to the FIRST NAME and LAST NAME that you provide when signing up, however, you can edit the Personal Link in settings to be listed as something entirely different from your muse name if you want to.

GROUPS:

Unlike tumblr where you just automatically post anything to dash, MeWe rps usually follow a structure where separate Groups are created designating where certain types of posts will be made. There are a lot of different reasons for this and each rp will have their own groups and systems for the groups they create. Typically, some rps will create groups to separate NSFW threads from SFW threads. Other types of Groups you might see are specific to New Member Acceptance Posts, New Member Introduction Posts, Plot Calls/Bio Drops/Muse Development related posts, etc.

Once you have been accepted from the main accounts of an rp, the admins/moderators will continue to invite you to each group within the rp individually. You will have to accept each of these one by one before you are able to view anything in the Group, make any posts, or emoji or comment on any posts.

TAGS:

MeWe has a specific tag system that can be used in all Groups. Basically, you will want to come up with a tag to represent your muse. It can be whatever you want (as long as it doesn't violate the rp's rules or guidelines). Essentially, it'll be what other muns will use to identify your muse when looking through posts.

MeWe has a filter system using the tags. If you want to see all the posts related to your muse, or another, you can select the specific tag in whichever Groups it comes up in to see all posts from or containing the muse.

STEP 1: SIGNING UP

You'll be asked for the basic information such as FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, EMAIL ADDRESS and to SET A PASSWORD.

I highly recommend that when creating your profile, to use an email specifically for rp purposes or to create a new email specifically for your muse that you can remember. This is more for personal safety as it's best to avoid using anything personal of yours for rp to avoid anyone in or outside of roleplay environments from being able to access your personal information if you ever run into any cybersecurity concerns.

Note: Whatever you submit for your FIRST NAME and LAST NAME will be set as the your profile's default personal link (reference terms above for details). Basically, whether you have your muse's name set or not, no big worries as you can always edit this information after creating your user. However, keep in mind that once you edit your muse's name, there is a wait time of 60 days before you can edit it again!

STEP 2: CONFIRM YOUR EMAIL

Once you finish with the signing up process, you'll be brought to the MeWe dash homepage. After being added by the rp's main accounts, once you start adding other muse contacts or join Groups, this is where you will see everyone's posts including your own (depending on if there are dashboard rules for the roleplay you join). When you see posts, you will be able to see who they are from and which specific Group the post was put into if not made from their main account dash.

STEP 3: PREPARE YOUR PROFILE

Lastly, this is THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT! Most MeWe rps will specify that you list something in relation to the rp in your 'City' location so that when you add the main accounts, they can confirm that it is you adding them and not some random stranger. This could delay the process of you getting added back by the admin accounts and being invited to join all the necessary Groups of the rp if the admins can't confirm or identify your account.

OTHER POINTS:

Most MeWe rps will require that you make sure anyone on your contact list can see all the others on your contact list as well. MeWe rps do this to make sure that active members are clearing out inactive/removed members from their contact list as some do make it a rule to make sure that contact list are up-to-date.

Make sure that your profile is searchable on MeWe search! This allows other members to be able to find and add you if there's any struggle with adding you other ways. However, typically once you've been added by the main accounts you'll be reflected in their contact list. Additionally, you can use the main account's contact list to know who else to add, and the function is typically easy as all contacts will be listed and you can just click 'Add Contact' without going through the trouble of opening each profile up individually or searching for them one by one.
