Fun.Social is your private friends only space to share your more personal content with just the people you know in real life. Unlike our other sites, all your content here is private and can only be viewed by your friends. This site works on a two way friend system, meaning one person must send a friend request and the other must accept the request before either of you can see the others content.
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:
Hot: The most upvoted of the recent posts (Number of upvotes with time decay)New: The most recent posts (Chronological order)Top: The most upvoted posts based on time period (Number of upvotes)Rising: The new posts with the most momentum (Number upvotes right after posting)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.
Filter by post type (allowing you to see only the type of posts selected)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 settingsAllowance 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.
Circles
Circles work like channels on the other site, letting you group different friends into various social circles. You can click on these circles in the left sidebar to see a feed of content posted only by the friends in that given social circle. Additionally, you can post content to your circles; only people in that circle will be able to see the content you posted but they won’t know that it’s limited to only them. Circles are private, meaning no one will know you have put them in a circle nor will they know who else is in the circle.
Groups
Groups are a closed invite only space where you can connect with a select group of friends. Unlike circles, users are aware when they are added to a group and can see the other members of the group, as well as any content posted to the group. Groups also have the ability to add chats, meaning you can have a chatroom style space associates with your group and available to all members of the group.
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.
Events
Events allow users to create a temporary space centered around an event. Events have a time for the event and location. Events can be public or private; public events are available for anyone to view or attend while private groups or joinable and viewable by invitation only. You can see who is invited to and attending an event by viewing the right sidebar of the event.
Before the event begins, you are able to post to the event to coordinate, share excitement and anything else. Once the event starts, a new feed will be opened for pictures, videos and other content taken and posted during the event; this feed will stay open for 24 hours after the end of the event. After that, the creator of the event can use this content to create a digital scrapbook of the event available to all attendees in “past events” of the “my events” section of the left sidebar.
Chats
Chats are a group DM space that allows groups of people to chat live about any subject. A chat can contain multiple rooms, each of which is their own message chain.
On Social, groups are able to create chats. These chats are private and only available to members of the group.
