Writing posts

Open /compose to start writing. The editor is Tiptap, with full Markdown support — type Markdown and it formats as you go, or use the toolbar.

The composer

Field	Notes
Title	Plain text. Used for the page title, share cards, and federated name.
Body	Rich text: headings, bold, italic, links, lists, quotes, code blocks, images.
Tags	Free-form. Readers follow tags, so they are how a post gets discovered beyond your followers.
Language	Used by readers’ feed language filters.

Two buttons: Save draft and Publish. The editor tracks unsaved changes and warns you before you navigate away with work in progress.

Markdown

The editor accepts Markdown input directly — ## for a heading, **bold**, `code`, > for a quote, - for a list. Pasting Markdown works too. You never have to choose between a rich editor and Markdown; it is the same surface.

Images

Three ways to add one:

• Paste an image from the clipboard.
• Drag and drop a file into the body.
• Use the toolbar’s image button.

Uploads go to the instance’s uploads volume and are served from your own domain — no third-party image host. Once placed, an image can be resized by dragging its corner.

Drafts

Save draft stores the post privately at /drafts. Drafts are:

• never publicly readable,
• never federated,
• reopenable — saving again updates the same post rather than creating a copy.

Publishing

Publishing makes the post readable at its public URL and, when federation is enabled, enqueues delivery as a Create activity to every remote follower’s inbox. Delivery is asynchronous — a slow remote server never blocks your publish.

Editing and deleting

Edit a published post and readers on your instance see the change immediately. Deleting it removes it locally and federates the deletion.

Comments

Readers comment on posts, and comments can be liked. Federated replies from other instances arrive in the same place as local comments. You can edit or delete your own comments.

Feeds

Every author has an RSS feed at:

https://your-domain/@handle/feed.xml

RSS readers are never challenged by the AI-scraper shield, so feeds keep working even with protection enabled.
