Finding Posts
The Home view has two tabs:
- Community shows posts from everyone
- Following shows posts from people you follow
Use the sort menu to order posts by Newest, Most liked, Most liked 24H or Most comments.
| Sidebar item | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Home | The Community and Following feeds |
| My posts | Posts you have published |
| Search | Posts whose title, text or author matches what you type |
| Drafts | Posts you saved without publishing. Only you can see them |
| Bookmarked | Posts you bookmarked |
| Liked posts | Posts you liked |
Categories and Tags
Every post belongs to one category, shown in the sidebar as Topics:
- Talk
- News
- Process
- Tutorial
- Resources
Click a topic to filter the feed to it, and click it again to clear it. You can select more than one. To find community-written guides, filter by Tutorial or Resources.
Tags are free-form labels the author adds to a post. They appear on the post itself.
Who Can Post
You need to be signed in, and your profile needs a linked X account. If it doesn't have one, the new post page asks you to link a social media account and offers Edit Profile.
You don't need to be a verified creator. Collectors can post too.
The first time you publish, like, bookmark or comment, mallow asks you to sign a message with your wallet. Signing is free and sends no transaction.
