Feed

How the Ecency feed works, which sources and sorts are available and how to filter what you see.

The feed is the list of posts you see on Ecency’s home page. Each post shows its title, the community it was published in, its rewards and its votes and comments. Click the three dots on a post for more actions.

The feed has two parts: a source (where posts come from) and a sort (how they are ranked).

Source What it shows
Following Posts and reblogs from the people you follow, newest first. Only shown when you are logged in.
Communities Posts from the communities you joined. Only shown when you are logged in.
Global Posts from the whole platform.

When you open a tag or topic (for example from a post’s tags), that tag shows as the selected source and the sorts below apply to it.

If your Following or Communities feed is empty, follow more people or join more communities. See Discover.

The sort tabs sit above the feed. Other people's posts are blurred in this screenshot.

The Communities and Global sources can be sorted by:

Sort What it shows
Trending Posts gaining the most votes and rewards right now.
Hot Popular posts from the past few hours.
New The newest posts, sorted by publish time.
Payouts Posts with the highest pending rewards.
Promoted Posts promoted with Ecency Points. See Boost and promote.
Muted Posts that were muted, for example by community moderators.

The Following feed is always chronological, so it has no sort.

On the Following feed, use the Show reblogs toggle to include or hide reblogs. Turn it off to see only the posts written by the people you follow.

On community and profile pages, use the layout button next to the menu to switch between Classic and Grid.

The home screen of the Ecency mobile app shows the feed as tabs at the top. By default you see Following, Communities, Trending and Hot (or Trending, Hot and New when you’re logged out). You can customize which tabs appear. See Using the Ecency mobile app.
