After you publish

The first readers

Your post goes to 3 readers in its channel. They are picked at random from members who:

• read the language of your post (a post with no language can go to anyone in the channel),
• haven’t received it yet,
• have room in their feed,
• and aren’t you.

The price you paid buys this first step. Your trust score has no effect on it.

Travelling on

Each of those readers forwards or drops your post. Every forward sends it to 2 to 4 more people, depending on the forwarder’s trust score. Those people decide in turn, and so on.

When it waits

If nobody who could receive your post has room in their feed right now, your post waits and is tried again regularly. It keeps looking for readers for up to 10 days. In a small or new channel this can take a while, but the post isn’t lost.

When the journey ends

A post stops travelling when:

• everyone who received it has dropped it, or
• there’s no one left in the channel who reads its language and hasn’t had it yet.

That’s the normal end of every post, not a failure. A post that reached everyone who could get it has done everything it could.

Following your post

Profile → My posts lists everything you’ve published. How often a post has been forwarded isn’t shown on the post itself, not even to you. Readers only learn it after they’ve decided, so that nobody simply votes with the crowd. The Stats tab shows how far posts travel across Peerkola.

If a reader gifts you a token while forwarding your post, it lands in your balance. You aren’t told who it came from.

Editing and deleting

Once published, a post can’t be edited, and you can’t delete a single post on its own. Forwarded copies are already out of your hands anyway. The one way to remove your posts is to delete your account and choose to erase everything you published along with it.
