Ok, let’s start from the very beginning. How do I know if I am on an echo or the original?
This might be long but I’m going to go ahead and post here.
Navigating Parler
1) Know who you’re following. Celebrities with high volume followers will have a Golden P next to their profile picture. Some have photo shopped a P in their pics. In those fakes the “P” is entirely in their circle. A legitimate P will be half in and half out of their pic circle.
I try to follow only those with red or gold P’s. That ensures I am following legitimate people.
2) Make sure you “subscribe” to those you definitely want to hear from on a regular basis such as Mark Levin, Dinesh D’SOUZA, or whoever you like to follow.
You subscribe by going to their profile page and clicking their bell at the top. If you are Subscribed it will either change color or add a little line on either side of the top of the bell.
3) Now when you sign onto Parler you can see only “subscribed” posts by clicking subscribed at the top of your home feed. This cuts out a lot of weighted down noise and echoed Parleys.
Personally, when I sign onto Parler, I immediately click the bell at the bottom.
This brings up all posts by people I subscribe to but brings it up in an abbreviated form so I can quickly see which ones interest me without having to scroll through the entire post, pictures and all. If it interests me I can click on it to see entire post and comment if I want. You will also see if someone new followed you or upvoted your comment at this bell (notifications) feed. I generally stay here when I’m on Parler.
4) If you want to have some impact and have your thoughts noticed, use the notification bell at bottom. When a new post comes up, be one of the first 50 or less to comment. If you have good thoughts you will be surprised at how many see and upvote your comments. On Twitter it was rare to get more than a few likes on my comments. I had a few go over a hundred and only once over a thousand. But on Parler my comments are upvoted regularly 20 or more times.
5) use the little navigation button on the bottom (looks like a compass) to see top and current popular news items.
6) clear your cache and cookies regularly.
7) The way I share on FR is to select the Parley. Use down arrow on upper right and choose “copy text”
Paste that into my comment, then go back and use same down arrow and choose “share”
Go back to my comment and paste.
It’s a two step, I know, but it works for me.
I think you can choose the share icon with the little circles at bottom too, but only gives link and no text.
Hoping Parler can salvage their business from this coordinated attack.

At the top left hand corner of the post, above the Avatar, it will say "echoed by...." in grayed-out type. If it doesn't say that, it will be the original post.
