## What is Postopia?

Postopia is a social network built around communities.

Every community is a real place — a forum with its own moderation, its own feed, its own character and its own discussions. Join the ones you care about, or start one. What you post there also reaches the people who follow you, so you are never choosing between a group and an audience.

The home feed is reverse-chronological by default: posts from the people and communities you follow, in the order they were written. Where a surface does rank, it tells you why you are seeing something.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
- Post text, photos, video, polls and long-form Broadcasts
- Spark, Echo and Quote the posts worth passing on
- Share short vertical Vibes that expire, or pin one that does not
- Send Notes: direct messages that are end-to-end encrypted
- Chat one to one or in groups, and pass posts and Vibes into the conversation
- Read the news from sources you choose, and favorite the ones you come back to
- Listen to Postopia Music: tracks and videos from independent artists
- Follow people, communities and the topics that interest you

BUILT WITH LIMITS
- No ads and no third-party trackers. What you do here is not sold or shared.
- Verification is free. It describes who someone is and cannot be purchased.
- Report, block and mute on every surface, with a 24-hour takedown commitment.
- No infinite algorithmic scroll on the main feed.

Postopia is for people 17 and over, and 18 where local rules require it.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.40 — 2026-09-29

Postopia Stage is here: a free talent showcase. Share a performance, follow the acts you like and get a reminder when a round opens. Entering and voting are always free, and every act gets the same space on the page.

Chat, rebuilt:
- Photos and videos open full screen. Tap to hide the controls, and save what you want to keep.
- Search every message in a chat, group or channel and jump straight to it.
- Pin messages to the top of a conversation, and star the ones you want to find again.
- Pin your favorite chats and community channels to the top of your inbox.
- Documents show a preview of the first page and their name.
- Give a group chat its own photo.
- See who is online, or hide your own last seen in Privacy settings.
- Report a message, and let group admins stop messages from being forwarded.
- Chats open faster and your recent messages are there even when you are offline.

Communities:
- Community channels now live in your Chats, grouped by community.
- Channels can have their own photo, and cohorts can have private channels.
- Share files from a community's Files straight into a channel.

Profiles and communities can show links to your other sites and accounts.

Also: emails arrive in your app's language, better handling of screenshots from recent iPhones, camera fixes, dark mode improvements and many smaller fixes.

### 1.0.38 — 2026-09-21

One passkey, everywhere. Your passkey now signs you in, confirms it's you when a sign-in needs a second step, and opens your Notes, all in one tap. "Sign in with a passkey" is on the sign-in screen, and if you already have a passkey, Notes offers to link it with your PIN instead of asking for a new one. Passkey sign-in is more reliable on iPhone and Android, the sign-in and confirmation screens explain what went wrong when something does, and adding a passkey during onboarding no longer sends you back to pick a handle.

Backup codes without an authenticator app. Generate or regenerate them from Settings → Security after a quick confirmation, copy them, or email them to yourself. The authenticator setup screen now has a way back.

Video profile pictures. Pick which five seconds of a video to use, watch the upload and processing progress, and see the new video without restarting the app. Large clips from your camera roll are accepted, and the trim no longer crashes on iPhone.

Chat. Videos show a preview before you send and a thumbnail after; a clip longer than two minutes opens the trimmer instead of being refused; images load faster in busy conversations; the inbox shows a thumbnail of the last photo; larger files are accepted.

Follow back. Wherever there is a Follow button, it reads "Follow back" when that person already follows you: reactions, viewers, followers lists, search, profiles, the profile preview, the lightbox and the Vibes player.

Your name and your work. Edit Profile now has your first and last name; once your ID is verified they match your ID and lock. The job title picker suggests titles as you type, and licensed ones can be verified from the Verification page.

Chat and Notes. Delivery ticks the way you know them, message info for group chats, message requests move to the front, and a sent message appears instantly. Notes media loads faster in the gallery.

Vibes. Video Vibes preview themselves on the Home rail when they're in view. Text and Grid Vibes can be scheduled, a scheduled Vibe's timer starts when it goes live, the music credit stays put in landscape, and Trending shows a post's real number of sparks.

Also in this release: the sign-in and two-factor screens are translated; shared psto.me links open the app; #tag pages list every tagged post including replies; ID verification can set up your second step right there; voice notes play at up to 3× and no longer pause on their own; replies appear instantly and sub-replies expand in place; the explicit-content confirmation is a proper dialog; and the media viewer rotates to landscape on iPhone.
