Getting to know Fun.Community

Fun.Community is our site focused around public topic-centric groups. You are able to create or join various different groups each with a specific subject focus, letting you connect with likeminded individuals and share a space dedicated to topics of interest.

Feeds

As a user, you have 3 default feed options for community: Home feed, All feed & Interests feed.

The Home feed consists of everything you have followed on Community, whether that is a community, a user, a tag or anything else you can follow on the site. Content will only show up here if you have decided to follow it.

The All feed shows you all the content on Community regardless of your interests or what you follow. This feed contains everything the site has to offer and while not customized to you, allows you to get a pulse of the site at large.

The Interest feed consists of content which pertains to the interests you set for your profile on fun.app. Using the keyword system, we will select content that pertains to your interests. You can adjust your interests from this feed or narrow down which interests you want to see content from by selecting specific interests at the top of the feed. You will also see all the keywords associated with each of your interests in the right sidebar of the interest feed, allowing you to access the keyword page.

Each feed on the network can be controlled by the user futher using our sort, filter and post size options located at the top of the feed.

The "Sort by" option allows you to choose the preferences by which you want your content ordered. The options are:

  1. Hot: The most upvoted of the recent posts (Number of upvotes with time decay)
  2. New: The most recent posts (Chronological order)
  3. Top: The most upvoted posts based on time period (Number of upvotes)
  4. Rising: The new posts with the most momentum (Number upvotes right after posting)
  5. Controversial: The posts with the most controversy (Number of upvotes and downvotes)

The "Filter" option allows you to choose which type of content you want to appear in your feed.

  1. Filter by post type (allowing you to see only the type of posts selected)
  2. Allowance of NSFW content (choose if you want to allow or omit NSFW content from feed) *This only appears if you have allowed NSFW content in your account settings
  3. Allowance of AI content (choose if you want to allow or omit AI content from feed)

The "Post Size" option allows you to choose how the posts in the feed will appear. You can choose from full sized cards, condensed view type, or titles only, which will simply change the amount of space each post will take up in the feed. You can also choose masonry which will change the feed from linear to a mosaic style feed.

Communities

Each community is created and run by their own moderator team, who are in charge of their community. They are able to set up the community, dictate the rules of the community and moderator the content and behavior of their members.

Communities have various different tools that allow you to connect and share, all of which is controlled by the moderator team, including the following:

  1. Communities can have topics and subtopics within the community, allowing for sorting of content into more specific categories. These are created by the moderators of a given community and can be posted to when you post in that community. You can also visit these topics or subtopics from the right sidebar of a community, allowing you to find exactly the content you are looking for.
  2. Communities can have their own flair for content, which can be added to a post when posting to that community. Flair can be applied to posts to help sort or identify various different types of content. Flair is created and managed by the moderators of the community. Users can sort by flair type, only showing content which has been marked with a given type of flair.
  3. Communities can have chats associated with them, giving members a place to chat and discuss topics without creating posts. Unlike the post structure of the main communities, chats are a more casual discussion space for members to connect. When a community has a chat, they are able to create multiple chatrooms within the chat where members can discuss different topics of interest.
  4. Moderators can assign keywords to their community, which will make the community itself show up in the feed associated with that keyword, but also any interests which contain that keyword. This greatly aids with the discovery of your community and your content. Applying a keyword to a community will also mark any posts into that community with those keywords, meaning content posted in the community will automatically show up in keyword feeds.

Channels

Channels are custom feeds you can either create yourself or follow. Channels allow you to group different content into personalized feeds which group related content into a singular feed, eliminating the need for you to check each of them individually.

For example, you might want to create an art channel, which contains a photography community, a painting community, a couple of your favorite artists and a tag or two relating to art. When you view this community, you will see a feed comprised of just this content.

Channels can be private or public. Private channels are viewable only to you while public channels can be discovered, viewed and followed by other users. Your created public channels will appear in the right sidebar of your profile page.

Collections

Collections are a way for you to save your favorite content from the site. You can simply save content generally to your "My Bookmarks" collection, or you can create your own collections which work like save folders for content.

Collections can be private or public. Private collections are viewable only to you while public collections can be discovered, viewed and followed by other users. Your created public collections will appear in the right sidebar of your profile page.
