Meta META Megapost - All you need to know about r/forestapp
Hello Forest friends! New around here? Fear not, here are all the links, posts and rules you should know about to navigate the sub :)
Our Rules
- Be kind to others - avoid rudeness or snarky comments, we want to keep a positive atmosphere in the sub. Kind words and acts can go a long way making someone's day brighter!
- Posts must be related to the app or productivity in general - pretty self explanatory.
- Do not share your personal email address - it's to protect your own privacy. This is a public sub, so anyone with an internet connection could grab your email and send you spam or virus links. Sharing it in DMs is much safer!
- Do not share your referral code outside of the dedicated sub - to avoid spam and clogging this sub with referral codes, we created a subreddit (ForestReferrals) where you can share them. All codes outside of that sub will be removed. Of course spamming is not allowed either, as that's a general rule of Reddit.
These are our 4 simple and straightforward rules, but they're very important. Please make sure you follow them and, should we not see posts or comments infringing a rule, you can report them to us.
IMPORTANT LINKS - SUB WIKI
Since we can only have 2 posts pinned at any moment, this thread is a collection of all the information you might need and posts that should be pinned, first of all: the SUB WIKI. It contains important links and posts that might help you navigate the sub - this post and the wiki will mostly be the same, but sometimes the wiki might be more up to date.
Adding friends
To add people on Forest you can leave a comment in the Friends Megathread with your time zone and some info about yourself, and you can DM people you'd like to be friends with! You can also make a post if you'd like to add something more specific :) As specified in the rules, please don't post your email address.
Flair Challenge
What is it? In this subreddit, we have a user flair for every tree species of the app. The user flair consists of little trees next to your username, showing whenever you post or comment within this subreddit. To get one, simply make a post showing that you planted the trees needed by the Flair Challenge - please follow the link for more detailed info!
Referral Codes
Referral codes are part of the so-called "Pear Tree challenge", still on-going, which you can read all about in this official post by Forest. To avoid clogging the sub we made r/ForestReferrals for sharing codes, which you can also find in the other pinned post :) Please make sure to thoroughly read the rules before posting.
How to make patterns
You can make patterns by knowing in advance where trees will be planted: here is a tutorial video on how to make patterns! If you're Android reading this after Feb 2022, please be aware that the latest update made the planting order the same as iOS, but everything else remained unchanged :) For easier pattern-making there is also JCVTao's Pattern Maker, with instructions at the beginning - it's very helpful, so check it out!
How to report Issues and Bugs
If your app is not working properly or there's a glitch the most effective way to fix it is Contacting Support in-app. Of course, you can still post in the sub to see if there is a simple solution or if others are facing the same issue, but if nothing works you can contact the developers by following the steps in the linked post.
"Plant Your Flower" quiz
In 2019 Forest created a personality test that will assign you a species according to your answers. You can take the test as many times you want and get different results, but you can only redeem 1 species for free. There is an Easter Egg in it too (the Starburst Tree), but it's no longer redeemable since January 2021, as it's now in the Exclusive Store.
Rooms and Planting Together
For planting with other users, we suggest you to look for servers or group chats dedicated to that specifically. It's not forbidden to share room codes in the sub, but it's really unpractical given all the different time zones, timings, and posts of different nature. If the following links don't work (they work on pc but not always on phones), look for the "Discord Server" post flair and click on it when you see one - it will show all the posts tagged with it. Some group chats have been shared under the flair "Friends and Rooms", so you can check those too.
Registered users
Registered users are users with the Pro version, a.k.a. they have an account linked to an email. All iOS users are pro users, but Android users can download the app for free and pay for Pro later on if they want to unlock the perks. You cannot take part in events or redeem prizes (such at the personality test free species) if you don't have a Forest account.
This is all for now, enjoy the sub! And happy planting! :D

Meta MEGATHREAD - Do you need trees in order to complete the new challenge? Or do you have commonly requested trees to offer? Please read below.
Hi everyone! We've had an influx of posts asking "does anybody have X tree? I need it for the new challenge."
While there's nothing wrong with those posts, due to the sheer number of them every day we've decided to make a megathread for tree requests. I'll be giving a day's "grace period", and after that, posts of that type will be removed, with a note asking the OP to post in the megathread instead.
To people offering trees: please make a list or take a screenshot of the trees you have available, and (optional) your timezone/location.
To tree requesters: please make a comment with the name of the tree you want, and (optional) your timezone/location and any trees you can give in return.
To both: feel free to include friendly messages or any info you think might be helpful. And please turn your notifications on. Thank you!
Edit: And after you complete your challenge, we would appreciate if you could edit or delete your comments to avoid people offering trees that you don't need anymore.
If you have any feedback or if you think there's something I'm overlooking, tell me below! I'll be checking this thread throughout the day.

Tip Which plant/tree to plant :)
How do you choose which tree/plant will you plant?
I have been using forest for a long time. I use forest for working, learning and lots of different activitices, like sport (dancing, stretching, yoga etc). I choose the plants/trees that reflect my mood, but I read the description in the app too and nowadays there are not so much information about it. I use the internet to collect info about the plants/trees, maybe I am overthinking it :)
I would like to hear your thoughts.

Update OH NO NO NO
Today I found the new theme in my app. I hate it. Its too much for my taste, and the extra taps i need to do to start a new tree creates friction.

Friends & rooms Starting a Pineapple Charity Thread
A number of us have inputted someone's code and not had anyone put our code in for the Pineapple challange. I'm wondering if there are folks who still haven't put in a code (either because they made a second account to complete the challenge themselves or just didn't need to) who would be willing to pay it forward and do so without reciprocation.
Instead of a million seperate posts, if you're in the same position as I am, post your code below and if anyone wants to just do a nice act of digital kindness, you can see those who are seeking help below.
And yes, I know I can make a second account, but I'd like to avoid that if possible and try this first.

Discussion any groups / communities where people share forest sessions? the telegram one is SO TOXIC!!
I attached the convo with the translation that just happened in the telegram group with 20.8K members (which i’ve been very active on btw) and i don’t want to deal with this group anymore.
I was given a warning and basically bashed for asking why to someone saying “ if you have a picture of a woman as your pfp remove it before joining”
i don’t want to interact or support that group in any sort of way, but i badly need a community of people where i can share / join forest sessions with as it’s my only way to tame my ADHD. any help would be appreciated 💗.

Discussion Please be careful while swapping codes
This is my experience. I previously posted asking for swapping codes and a user responded saying they're up for it. I typed their code and even shared a screenshot of it, but they didn't respond about it, even after asking them twice, I mean some long term users like me would love some exclusive trees in a collection, but with the restriction of one invite entry it's really depressing to see this situation, where we are being scammed.. My invite is literally zero and later i installed an app on my brother's tablet and entered my code (he was fine with it) .
I didn't even share my code in the body of the previous post mainly bcoz some people would type it in a rush and might affect the swapping overall, but guess what, scammers don't mind even if you have good intentions , i guess.
So guys better ask for proof of screenshot to that see they have entered your code while swapping, if you are okay with it. This pineapple tree house challenge literally sucks.
