OpenFeed is a place to follow people and communities without an algorithm deciding what you see. Posts appear in the order they were written, newest first. Nothing is ranked for you, and nothing is sold about you.
Social media should help people stay in touch and share what they know. Too often it does the opposite: timelines are tuned for attention, and personal data pays the bills. OpenFeed starts from different assumptions. You decide whom you follow, and you see what they post, in order.
We build OpenFeed in Europe, under European privacy law, and we keep the rules simple enough to read in a few minutes.
Your home timeline shows posts from the people and spaces you follow, newest first. You can switch to One per person to see a calmer overview, or to Yesterday for the posts that got the most response the day before. Those views are choices you make; they never replace the default.
Spaces are communities around a topic, a club or an event. A public space can be read by anyone. A private space is only visible to its members. Each space has its own admins and house rules.
You decide how long a post stays online: forever, 30 days or 24 hours. You can close replies, add a content warning and describe your images for people who use a screen reader.
OpenFeed is built by a small, independent team. We are funded by our members and by grants for open internet projects. Decisions about the platform's rules are published, with the reasons behind them.
“We wanted a social network we would be happy to let our own families use.”
