Forwarding and dropping

What happens when you forward or drop a post, what each earns you, and how to gift a token.

Every post in your feed waits for one of two decisions. There’s no third option and no scrolling past.

Forward

You think the post is worth reading. It goes on to a few more readers in the same channel: people who read its language and haven’t received it yet. How many depends on your trust score:

Trust score Your forward reaches
0–34 2 people
35–69 3 people
70–100 4 people

A new account starts at 50, so its forwards reach 3 people.

Drop

You don’t think the post is worth passing on. It won’t travel any further through you. The other people who received it decide for themselves.

Dropping isn’t a punishment or a report. It just means “not from me”.

Both earn a token

Every review, forward or drop, earns you 1 token. Neither choice pays more than the other. Forward what you’d want others to see, and drop the rest.

What you find out afterwards

Once you’ve decided, the app shows how many times the post has been forwarded so far. You only see this after deciding, so the crowd’s opinion doesn’t make the decision for you.

Gift a token

Tap the arrow next to Forward and choose Forward & gift. The token your review earns then goes to the post’s author instead of you. This can be useful if you think the author deserves more reach and you don’t need the token yourself.

  • The author isn’t told who gifted it.
  • It’s a transfer, not an extra token: you give up the one you would have earned.
  • It isn’t possible for attention checks, or for posts whose author has deleted their account.

In My reviews, these forwards are marked token gifted.

Not too fast

Reviews are meant for reading. If you make a lot of decisions very quickly, the app asks you to wait a moment before the next one. Rushing also holds your trust score back.

Changing your mind

A decision can’t be undone. A forwarded post is already on its way, and a dropped one has left your feed. You’ll find every review under Profile → My reviews.
