Laravel user has to be logged in at least 5 times to acces page-CodePudding

I'm making a blog in laravel. You can only create posts if you as user have logged in at least 5 times. I have made a logincounter, which works. Using the following code in my logincontroller:

 protected function authenticated(Request $request, $user)
    {

        $user->logincount  ;
        $user->save();

    }

If I log in 5 times, it shows 5 in the database. Now, i want to create a function that checks if I have logged in 5 times or more before directing me to the /create page. The function I tried to put in the postcontroller doesn't work:

public function create(){
$user = User::all();
        if ($user->logincount > 5) {

            return view('create');
        }
    }

The error I get is the following: Property [logincount] does not exist on this collection instance.

This does not work, Laravel doesn't recognize logincount even after I put use App/Model/User. What am I doing wrong?

Did you set your $user variable ? Like $user = \Auth::user() for example
