The community feed

The community feed is where published creations appear. It is readable without an account — anyone can browse it, and each post has its own shareable page — while creating, liking and unlocking require signing in.

What appears in the feed

A post shows in the public feed only when all of these are true:

• it has been published to the community
• its visibility is Public (not Followers-only)
• its content rating is SFW
• the creator’s profile is public

Anything else is filtered out. That filtering happens in the database on every request, not in the search index or the page, so a post cannot appear because a cache or an index was out of date.

Visibility settings

When you publish, you choose who can see the post:

You can change visibility later. Narrowing it — Public to Followers, or unpublishing entirely — takes effect immediately for new requests.

Content ratings

Every post is rated automatically when you publish:

• SFW — appears normally in the public feed
• Adult — never appears in the public feed, and is shown only to signed-in viewers who are eligible for it
• Pending — the rating has not finished yet; the post is not public until it does

Videos are always Pending at first, because the classifier that reviews them samples the actual clip rather than a single frame. That review happens after publishing, so a newly published video appears in your own library before it appears publicly.

If a rating is uncertain, the post stays Pending rather than going public. That is deliberate: unreviewed is not the same as approved.

Your own posts

You always see your own posts, including Followers-only and Adult ones, in your library and when browsing while signed in. That carve-out applies only to you — it never widens what anyone else sees.

Blocking

Blocking is two-way for feed purposes. If you block someone, their posts stop appearing for you; if someone blocks you, their posts stop appearing for you as well. Neither of you is told which direction applied.
