Using Darflen as a new user

Is this your first time on Darflen? Need help with setting up an account? Don't worry! We made this so new users like you can understand this website with perfectly clear vision. We strongly recommend this quick read if you are new to Darflen, so you can be as immersed with the community as possible!
==Registering an account==
Registering to Darflen is very simple. To create an account, go to darflen.com/join. Be sure to read the Terms of Service (here)—there are many important rules, such as Darflen being only for ages 13 and over. Then, you will we asked to enter a username of your choice and a strong password. You would also need to provide certain personal information, though not shared, such as your birthday and email address. Both your email and password are used for logging in later. Although not required to be able to use Darflen, you will receive a verification email to the email that you registered with. You can click the button in the email to verify your account. 
==Customizing your profile==
===Personalizing your profile appearance===
You can decide how you want your profile to look. You can customize your display name, which is the name people see you as, your profile picture, banner, and your 'About me', which shows up on your profile. To change these things, click on your username next to your icon in the far right of the top navigation bar. Once clicked, a dropdown will show up. Click on the option that says 'Settings' and scroll down until you see 'Customizations'. To change your display name, simply type any name of your choice in the input with the text 'Display Name' and click the Submit button at the bottom. To change your icon and banner, click on their respective 'Upload' buttons and select a file from your computer. Please note there are some restrictions to what you can upload (see File Attachments). You can edit your description by clicking on the text box with the text 'Description' and typing your message. You can use Markdown Text to change how it looks. 
===Personalizing your account settings===
=====Editing your notifications=====
To change which notifications you want to see, click on your username in the far right of the top navigation bar. Once clicked, a dropdown will show up. Click the on the one displaying 'Settings'. Then, scroll down until you see the 'Notifications' section. There, you can check and uncheck which notifications you want to receive.
=====Changing personal information=====
To change your information, click on your username on the top-right of your screen. Then, select 'Settings'. Once you are at your settings, below the preview of your profile, you can change your email, username, and password. Changing these will require your current password.
====== Notes======
*You can register multiple accounts on the same email. This can be done by adding a + and any value you want in front of it behind the @URL. For example, if you have already registered on jimmey@email.com, you can register another account with jimmey+darflen.alt.acc@email.com. You can replace 'darflen.alt.acc' with any value you want that you haven't used on Darflen before. Keep in mind that some mail services do not support this feature.
=====Changing your theme=====
The Themes on Darflen change the color style on the website. There are four themes, here in order from lightest to darkest:
*Daylight
*Light
*Night
*Midnight
To change it, go to the top-right corner of your screen, where your username and profile picture is, and click on it. This will open a dropdown. Click on 'Settings'. This should redirect you to a settings page. Scroll down to the 'Themes' section and click on the dropdown below. From there, you could pick one of the four options.
== Creating a post ==
Writing a post is super easy, and super customisable. Here are instructions on how to compose a post:
# Go to the 'Home' section of the Darflen website logged in.
#Click on the text box right of your user icon.
#Once a pop up with the header 'Compose New Post' appears on your screen, click on the text box and share your thoughts!
#Click 'Publish' to share your post.
You can also write a post in other places of the website, too.
======Customization======
Here are ways you can customize your post:
 
*Markdown: Like your profile description, you can use Markdown Text to customize and emphasize your text. To apply markdown to your post, click on one of the options up top and type your desired text with the Markdown.
*Visibility: The visibillity of your post changes who sees it. Your post is public by default, but you can click on the dropdown up-right of the 'Submit' button to change it.
*Attachments: You can attach a file to your post. Like your banner and icon, click on the 'Upload' button to upload any picture you want. Unlike your profile, you can select multiple files and can also include audio and videos.
*Polls: Another type of post is a Poll. To make a poll, click on the 'New Poll' button below your profile icon on the home page. On the upper half, the layout is like a normal post, but below, you can write options your poll and can add up to 6 options using the 'Add Option' button. Next the 'Add Option' button, you can change how long your poll lasts before closing.
==Communities ==
A Community is a group of people and posts based on a particular topic or quirk. Here is how to make and join a community in simple steps:
===Making a community===
To create a community, go to your Home page, and across your user icon, you will see text saying 'New Community'. From there, you can customize the display name, name, description (which also uses Markdown), and visibility. Then, click 'Create'. 
===Joining a community===
You need to join a community to post on there. To join a community, go to the community page. On the banner, click on the button with a join icon with the text 'Join' next to it. Once you have clicked on it, you can post on the community.
