Sending Messages

When viewing a public Lantern, or a public List, a messaging icon will be presented. Use this button to send the Lantern or List to someone else using Lanterns.app.

Types of messages you can send

You can send:

• a text message
• a pointer to one of your public lanterns, together with some text
• a pointer to one of your public lists of lanterns, together with some text

Who can you message?

You can message anyone on Lanterns.app. However:

• If you send a message to someone who doesn’t follow you, it will appear as a message request in their inbox.
• If someone accepts your message request, your future messages will go directly to their inbox.
• You cannot message someone that you have blocked.

Why can't I send messages on some chat groups?

If you've sent a chat request to someone, you will not be able to send any further messages until such time that the recipient of the request accepts your request.
