Social

Social features, one API away.

Every app eventually needs social. Feeds, likes, comments, follows, stories. It sounds simple until you're six months into building feed ranking, moderation queues, and abuse prevention. Social gives you all of it through a single API so you can focus on the experience instead of the plumbing.

Whether you're adding a comment section to a blog, building a creator platform, or launching a full social product, Social scales from a few endpoints to a complete social backend. Strong defaults out of the box, full control when you need it.

What you get

Everything in the box

The hardest pieces — feeds, ranking, moderation, messaging — done for you. Tunable per community when you need it.

Activity feeds and timelines

Chronological following feeds, ranked feeds, discover, and list-based timelines — all served ready-to-render from one endpoint family. No feed infrastructure to build.

Social graph

Follow, unfollow, block, mute. Private accounts with follow requests, relationship state for any pair of actors, and follow suggestions users can dismiss.

Reactions and comments

Reactions on posts, comments, and messages, with any reaction types you choose. Threaded comments with per-community depth limits, pinned comments, and pagination built in.

Ranking algorithms

Read-time scoring that balances recency and engagement. Tune the weights, recency half-life, and candidate window per community — no ML pipeline to operate.

Moderation and safety

A full flag queue with moderator actions and an audit trail. Auto-hide thresholds, shadow bans, muted terms, and hidden-word filters, all per community.

Direct messages

One-to-one and group conversations with admin roles, message requests, reactions, read state, and per-thread pin and mute. Moderator tools included.

Discovery

Hashtags with trending views, mentions, cursor-paginated search across people and posts, and bookmarks organised into named collections.

Stories

Instagram-style ephemeral posts with view tracking, polls, close-friends visibility, and highlights. The full surface, not a stripped-down version.

Notifications

Per-actor inbox that fires automatically on follows, reactions, comments, replies, and votes. Mark-read, unread-count, bulk read-all — all built in.
