About replies and mentions

authorWritten by AdminUpdated on 28 Dec, 2023
  • A reply is a response to another person’s post. You can reply by clicking or tapping the reply icon  from a post.
  • When you reply to someone else, your post will show the message Replying to... when viewed in your profile page timeline. When someone replies to one of your posts you will see Replying to you above the post and you will receive a notification in your Notifications tab.
  • When two people are replying to one another, only relevant people, such as those who follow the person who replied and the person in the conversation, will see the reply in their timeline.
  • If you click or tap on a reply in your timeline, it will expand to display the post that was replied to.
  • Replies from people with protected posts will only be visible to their followers.
  • If someone sends you a reply and you are not following them, the reply will not appear in your Home timeline. Instead, the reply will appear in your Notifications tab.
  • Sometimes, replies in a conversation are not shown in chronological order. We strive to show you the content that we think you’d be most interested in and contributes to the conversation in a meaningful way, such as content that is relevant, credible, and safe. When ranking a reply higher, we consider factors such as if the original post author has replied, if a reply is from someone you follow, or if the person is a X Blue subscriber.
