Community feed — posts, reactions, comments

The community page has a Facebook-style feed: short posts with optional photos, reactions, inline comments, attached listings / routes / events, and @mentions. It's where day-to-day community happens — ride reports, gear questions, quick updates. For longer threads use the forum; for tracks use routes.

The composer

At the top of the feed (once you're signed in) you'll see What's on your mind?. Write your text there. You can:

  • Add up to 4 photos — click the camera icon. Images are processed into web-friendly thumbnails automatically.
  • Attach a listing, a route, or an event — click the 🔗 button. A picker opens where you can search your own listings / routes / events, pick one, and it'll appear as a rich card inside your post. Readers see a title, image, and price (for listings) or date/place (for events), and can click through.
  • Mention another member with @ — type @ followed by the start of a username. An autocomplete popup appears with matching members — click one to insert. The person you mention gets a notification, and readers see their name as a clickable link.
  • Hit Post to publish. No moderation delay for posts — they go live immediately. (Listings are different; those still go through moderation.)

Not signed in? You'll see a Sign in to share with the community prompt instead.

Signed in but haven't picked an identity yet? You can still read the feed, but posting, liking, and commenting are blocked until you choose Rider, Glider, or Walker in your profile. If you try to react or comment before setting identity, you'll see a prompt saying "Set your identity in profile". See community overview for why this exists.

Three tabs: Discover, 🔥 Hot, Following

Just under the composer there are three tabs:

  • Discover — recent posts from your whole local Baltic community, newest first. Default when you're not signed in or when you don't follow anyone yet. This is where you find new people.
  • 🔥 Hot — posts that are getting a lot of engagement right now. Ranking favours posts that collected reactions and comments quickly, so you see what the community is actually talking about today rather than old popular posts. New posts rise and fall on their own momentum.
  • Following — only posts from people you follow. Kicks in automatically once you're signed in. Empty at first; use Discover or Hot to find accounts worth following.

What shows up on these tabs is shaped by your domain. The feed uses an 80/20 Baltic mix: about 80% of posts come from your own country, 20% from the neighbouring Baltic countries. You stay in your local scene and still see what's happening across the border. See the multi-domain guide for more on how that works.

Reactions

Five reactions are available on every post. Hover the Like button (or long-press on mobile) to open the picker:

  • 👍 Like — generic approval.
  • 🚴 Cool ride — nice ride / route / post about riding.
  • ⚠️ Useful — heads-up or warning worth knowing about (closed trail, scam pattern, missing part).
  • ❤️ Love — you love this post.
  • 🔧 Thanks — grateful for the help (a fix explanation, a part source, a how-to).

One reaction per post per user — changing your mind just swaps it. Click your active reaction again to remove it. The three most common reactions on a post are shown as small bubbles above the action bar, with the total count next to them.

Comments

Click Comment under a post — or the existing comment count — to open the inline thread. Type, press Enter (or hit Send), and your comment is added instantly. Everyone reading the post sees comments inline without leaving the feed. Comments support plain text; media in comments is planned for a later update.

Save posts

Spotted something you want to come back to? Click the 📑 button in the post's action bar. The bookmark fills in, and the post is stored under your saved list. Open /community/saved to see everything you've saved — you can also get there from the community sidebar. Click 📑 again to un-save. Only you see your saved list.

Share

Click Share on any post:

  • On mobile — the native share sheet opens, so you can send the post to WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, email, or any app on your phone.
  • On desktop — the post link is copied to your clipboard and a small "Copied" hint appears. Paste it anywhere.

@mentions

Type @ in the composer or in a comment — an autocomplete popup appears as you keep typing. It shows matching usernames from your local community. Click one to insert; the mention is saved as a clickable link to that member's profile.

The person you mention gets a notification that they were tagged, so they can come check out the post or the comment. Mentions are a friendly way to pull someone into a conversation — don't over-use them.

Views and engagement counters

Each post shows how many reactions and comments it has; popular posts also show view counts. These help you see what's resonating with the community. Use 🔥 Hot if you want to see what's trending right now vs. the default newest-first order.

The post menu (···)

Every post has a ··· menu in the top-right corner. What you see inside depends on whose post it is:

  • On your own posts — Edit (opens an inline textarea so you can fix a typo or add a detail) and Delete (asks for a quick confirmation, then removes the post). Edited posts show a small edited label next to the timestamp so readers know the content changed.
  • On other people's posts — Report. Pick a reason, add context if you want, submit. The report goes into the same moderation queue that handles listing reports — see safety for more on how that works.

Content warnings

If a post has a content warning set by the author (crash photo, heavy repair gore, strong language), you'll see a warning banner above the content. This is an opt-in label — use it when you think some readers may prefer to skip.

Feed etiquette

  1. Be kind. Disagreements are fine, personal attacks are not.
  2. No pure self-promotion. Sales belong in listings or vendor storefronts — attach them to a post if it fits the conversation, don't spam the feed.
  3. Tag content warnings on anything graphic.
  4. Use @mentions to include people, not to ping them for attention.
  5. Report bad posts — moderators handle the rest.
