Share Without Fear: The Option for Anonymous Stories

Creating an anonymous story is straightforward: you choose the audience before or during the publishing process. But before we dive into that detail, let’s discuss why you should consider this option.
Before Posting: Initial Considerations
Thinking carefully about who should see your content is crucial. Here’s a quick checklist:
- Define your message: What do you want to communicate? Consider if you need immediate feedback or if you'd prefer to keep it more private.
- Select the right audience: You can choose from various levels: from 'Only me' to custom lists like 'Mutuals' or 'Best friends'.

NARRATIVE EXAMPLE
Let’s consider Sara, who just returned home after a vacation with friends. She has some fun photos but doesn’t want all her followers to see them; she prefers to share them only with her close group. By using 'Best friends', she can enjoy her content without worrying about external reactions or how her images will be interpreted.
