In pubky.app, a post is content that a user publishes under /pub/pubky.app/posts/:post_id on their homeserver. Posts are defined by pubky-app-specs and indexed by Nexus for feeds, replies, search, tags, and notifications.

Post Types

Section titled “Post Types”

pubky-app-specs is the canonical source for post kinds, fields, limits, and validation rules. See the PubkyAppPost section of the pubky-app-specs README.

Posts can also participate in social interactions:

  1. Replies: A post can reference a parent post URI.
  2. Reposts/embeds: A post can embed another post or resource by kind and URI.
  3. Tags: Any user can tag a post to make it discoverable by topic or meaning.
  4. Mentions and links: Clients can render user references and external URLs from post content.
