Some advice:

A very good way to learn App Inventor is to read the free Inventor's Manual here in the AI2 free online eBook http://www.appinventor.org/book2 ... the links are at the bottom of the Web page. The book 'teaches' users how to program with AI2 blocks.
There is a free programming course here http://www.appinventor.org/content/CourseInABox/Intro and the aia files for the projects in the book are here: http://www.appinventor.org/bookFiles
How to do a lot of basic things with App Inventor are described here: http://www.appinventor.org/content/howDoYou/eventHandling .

Also do the tutorials http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/tutorials.html to learn the basics of App Inventor, then try something and follow the Top 5 Tips: How to learn App Inventor

That should be a little complicated for beginners... you can't make a second YouTube or Twitter with only MIT App Inventor without the knowledge of programming blocks with App Inventor.

You will need a storage component (my suggestion is TinyDB for beginners) to store the post and the likes, and a ListView to display the newest posts.

  1. Use Google to search how to make such an app. You want to know all the logic and algorithms needed.

  2. Learn AI2.

  3. Use what you have learnt in Step 2 and apply it to Step 1.
