When you log into connect for the first time, try to click your location here as shown in the picture below to get access to what is happening around your community, i recommend this because you can find very interesting topics you might have missed in the past or present, turning on that feature would allow you see interesting topics from within your community

Secondly If you want to see other interesting topics from all over the world, you can go back to the My Location optioned i encircled below to also turn the feature on and see interesting topics from different parts of the continents.

If you are a new Local Guide on connect, don’t be quick to post anything, first explore the forum firstly, after exploring the forum and you have known how the forum works i suggest you can now post. Your first post should actually be your Introduction(its a suggestion). Every new month there is always a thread for Introduction, so if you are a newbie, trying searching for the month you registered in to be part of connect. For example if you registered this May try searching for Introduce Yourself May You will find below the encircled search option of how to do that.

After Introducing yourself you can now always post to different boards across the platform.You can find below screenshots of different boards you can see eye catching topics and posts you too can actually make.
