Home and notes

After you sign in, Home (/home) is the main feed screen you open first. Each user space and community space has a place called a note where you can post to friends’ notes or notes of communities you’ve joined.

Your home news feed shows posts to notes from users and communities you follow or bookmark (excluding anyone you muted), newest first. Use the buttons at the top of the feed to choose which sources to show.

  • On a user space note, story posts to that space are listed newest first.
  • On a community space note, story posts by community members are listed newest first.

Following brings posts to notes from user spaces and community spaces you follow into your home news feed.

When you become friends, you automatically follow each other. You can still unfollow even if you’re friends. You can also follow users and communities you aren’t friends with.

See How to follow for details.

Use the buttons at the top of Home to choose which kinds of posts appear in your news feed.

ButtonPosts shown
UsersPosts from users you follow (including your own)
CommunitiesPosts from communities you follow
BookmarksPosts from users and communities you bookmarked

All three are on by default.

  1. Turn each source button on or off.
  2. Press the check (✓) button to apply your selection to the feed.
  3. Press the double-check (✓✓) button to turn all three on and update the feed right away.

Your selection is saved in your browser and used again the next time you open Home.
