1. Signing up and confirming your e-mail
- On the home page tap Join for free.
- Pick your eating style, who you are looking for and your town. Add a photo that shows your face. Sign-up cannot be finished without a photo.
- Confirm your e-mail with the link we send you. The link is valid for 48 hours.
No e-mail? Check your spam and bulk folders. On the login page you can have the link sent again (No confirmation e-mail? Send it again).
2. Profile
- In Profile you fill in your profile in groups. For each detail you set who sees it: all members, only connections, or only you.
- My favourite dish is your favourite meal with a photo and a short story. People love to reply to it.
- Do not put your phone number or address in your text.
- Photos: the main photo is required. You can show further photos to all members or only to your connections.
3. Finding people
In People you choose who you are looking for and the distance. Under Filters you find place, age, diet, type of relationship, photo only and online only. If there are few results, widen the distance or the age range.
Every morning you will find 3 suggestions for today at the top.
4. Carrots, connections and messages
- A carrot is a gesture of interest. You have five a day.
- A connection is a mutual friendship on VegStyle. Connections see the details you show to “connections only”.
- You write messages from a member’s profile with the Message button. In Profile you set whether everyone can write to you or only connections.
- All requests, carrots and blocked people are in Profile → My relationships.
5. Location and map
In Profile you pick your town. Never enter an address. On the map you always appear only roughly, near your town, and you choose whether with a photo, without one, or not at all. You can change the town at any time.
6. Communities
In Communities you join groups by diet. You can post and comment in the communities you are a member of. Publish a recipe in the community cookbook by ticking the box when writing. Join the Weekly Challenge with a post with a photo.
7. Meetups
- Veggie table: in Communities → Meetups you create a meetup for 4 to 8 people. The place must be public. Only those who sign up see the exact spot.
- Date tips: recommend a place where the food is good. From every tip you can send the invitation “Shall we go here?” in a message.
8. Privacy and safety
- Block anyone on their profile under the three dots. A blocked member stops seeing you and cannot write to you.
- Report inappropriate behaviour there too, or on a message, post or comment.
- Get a verified profile in Profile: take a selfie with the requested gesture. We delete the selfie after the check.
- Phone notifications and message e-mails are switched on and off in Profile.
- Download my data and Delete account are at the bottom of Profile.
9. Technical problems
- Cannot log in: try your e-mail instead of the nickname and ask for a new password.
- The page does not load properly: refresh it, try another browser or turn off your ad blocker.
- No notifications: allow notifications for VegStyle in your phone settings. On an iPhone, add VegStyle to the home screen first.
