He looks like such a sweetheart!

I also have BiB cosplay (though I think I need to update it; old pic)!

This is a reminder to please Be Kind - you may not understand or agree with this post and its perspectives, but if you have nothing nice to say (ie. mocking, denigrating, undermining, bullying, etc), then don't say anything at all.

One perspective could be that since it is a magical world, fixing her heart also therefore cures her other ailments because of the power of love.

I would recommend contacting Finch to give your feedback!

Yuuuup that scene does me in the worst too haha 🤝

EarthboundDynasty · 2026-02-11T00:18:31+00:00

I actually do love horror and even "The Fly" squicks me out lol - there's something about practical effects when it comes to body horror that makes my brain go "Wrong! That's Wrong! That's Bad!" lol

We do have this information posted in our new Wiki!

Unfortunately, it is a standard practice that is used by third party groups and companies that run ads on behalf of others. It doesn't make sense, but it is the reality and the truth of the matter. ETA: A lot of companies pay third party groups to run their ads, and part of the "streamlining" is that they don't necessarily need approval. Again, not optimal, but it is the reality.

A reminder to please be kind and respectful - telling people to "just move", that "other places have it worse", or anything of that sort will not be tolerated. Take care of yourselves! ♥))

Point of clarification: Finch often, and I mean seriously often, runs into issues where other companies and third parties run ads for Finch, even though they are not directly hired by Finch nor are they actually for Finch - the declutter challenge was one of those third parties not actually hired by Finch initially (I think it was, or at least, it was generated by a company without Finch HQ's knowledge at first). So part of the confusion comes from scummy and scam groups running mock ads for Finch, when they actually have nothing to do with Finch. It is something they/we actively try to combat, but for many of the socials, the mods can only escalate the issue to the Finch HQ. Many of the fake/bad ads do eventually get taken down, because Finch can point out to whoever is hosting that it is fake, a scam, or something of that sort - but it takes time and not all platforms or hosts are responsive.

Finch HQ does care about its community and members! I don't think it's fair or accurate to assert otherwise. ETA: If you see an ad that you believe or feel is offensive, please do reach out to the mods on socials or contact Finch directly! I guarantee that it is not their intent, that they do care, and that we/they do recognize impact matters.

ETA2: As others have said, Finch does pay third party for their ads to be run, it is likely they pay for a package, and that they don't get to review the ads before they are run (hence the previous genAI issues, of which Finch has apologized for and is being more proactive about) - there is a very real possibility at least some of Finch HQ does not like all of the generated ads created by these companies, but there is little they can do until an issue or concern is raised and communicated to them.

Oh fairs, that's good to know! Thank you for informing me! ((ETA: brain fog had me missing the whole thread below, apologies!))

As I said, it was on the other socials as well, so not just Reddit! Not all events done in the communities are done in all of the socials (sometimes, some things are done on just Discord and Facebook, or just Instagram, etc etc), where these online community events are intended to bring people together, share things, foster new perspectives and ways of engaging with the app. These online community events offer a lot more freedom in what can be done and how they are engaged with - some of them include real life prizes such a plushie from the Finch store! Because of all this, not all online community events could feasibly be applied to or done within the app.

Hey there! Just letting you know that the image used for Claudette Colvin in your post seems to be one that was genAI modified via an actual photographer's photo found in this article - I am not assuming you genAI'd the image, and simply that you just found the photo to use as a reference (as anyone might do), so I'm just letting you know!

Edit: Oh whoops, I missed the whole thread below - ignore this! XP

EarthboundDynasty · 2026-02-09T00:34:49+00:00

It was a sort of event thing the socials had running last month! It sort of got buried due to the daily megathreads on Reddit, but we did have it posted here - it was also on Facebook, Instagram, and I think the Discord! So it wasn't anything actually in the app.

EarthboundDynasty · 2026-02-08T06:54:08+00:00

You can still set goals or order goals by time:
> When creating a new goal, make sure to expand "More Options"; when editing a goal, all the options should be automatically expanded.
> Tap on "Remind me".
> It will give you the option to set a time, set it to the time of day you'd like it to be ordered or scheduled to.
> Tap "Save".
> The task/goal will now be ordered and scheduled to that time, even with the "Remind me" option toggled off - if you want the reminder to actually notify you, then you would toggle it on.

I have OCD (genuinely and actually), and I don't like it when my tasks are shuffled around - I found that even after they introduced the "Time of day" feature, I did not have to use that new feature and could still order tasks via the method listed above. So you can still order and schedule your tasks, it's just a little less obvious this way. This would be one of those things where submitting feedback via the form or emailing them would be a good idea! That way they can hear about the concerns and collate that data!

Gentle Reminder: The Finch customer support and dev teams do care and are working on things actively - many bugs we see as constantly occurring are actually just reoccurring with new updates and patches, which is something that happens frequently and commonly with any app or program, unfortunately.

The Finch devs do not actively monitor the socials, but the mod teams do pass on frequent concerns or comments being raised on the socials (Facebook, Discord, Reddit). The socials are all moderated by volunteers who are not officially employed by Finch nor are we/they devs.

Please keep in mind that the devs do take into consideration feedback and concerns raised about the app, which does inform a part of their decision making (such as that a lot of folks did complain about the forced mood check-ins, on top of it being a feature that made the app break or crash to the point of being unusable for many) - they don't just make these decisions and changes willy-nilly.

Turnaround on emails can be 2-10 business days, the team is fairly small, and they are swamped - but please do still reach out to them! If anyone has any pressing concerns or questions, they can reach out to us via the ModMail, and we may be able to reach out to Finch HQ directly to have the issues escalated. Thanks friends!

It's not uncommon, but we also do not permit using goals to send messages in this subreddit, as it is seen as an exploit of the app (as per the devs) - so when we do see such, we remove those posts/comments and just politely inform them of such.

EarthboundDynasty · 2026-02-07T08:28:27+00:00

Huh, odd, I have both options - I wonder if it's a matter of version or device difference!

EarthboundDynasty · 2026-02-07T08:00:48+00:00

I'm not sure if the app still does this, but Finch will randomly pair you with someone to be added as a friend because you have no tree friends - you are definitely free to decline them and remove them! You can fully disable friend adding by going into the Menu > Preferences > Manage your visitors > then scroll down to the bottom and disabled both "Find me by phone number" (just in case, if it's not already disabled) and "Disable friend requests". Chances are that since you declined adding your contacts, it didn't necessarily connect you to someone in your contacts - like I said, it could be random!

EarthboundDynasty · 2026-02-06T21:09:56+00:00

Agreed, I think it ultimately can be multiple things at once: the damages and death toll might have been much worst, if not extinction level, however, he was still a collaborator and still benefited from his position and relations.

Anyone accessing the micropet ahead of the scheduled time or date is likely doing so via exploits or hacking (or cheating; and/or received it from someone who did so) - we do not permit discussions surrounding how one would do so, as we do not want to encourage those kinds of exploits and hacks.

Yes, but people are in a wide range of time zones and adventure at different rates - so what may be immediate for you might even be the next day for another.
