The feed

A place to catch up on the participants and moments you follow.

Notice: Planned Product Information

This documentation describes functionality and policies planned for the hosted Kookey social platform, targeting release in Q1 2027. The current public website is a static presentation and waitlist.

1.A social timeline

The feed concept brings rooms from followed hosts into one stream, with likes and comments close to the moment. A future feed could help someone catch up on teammates after a session, but the current website has no accounts, posts, follows, or feed.

The hosted service has not confirmed whether its feed will be chronological, ranked, or mixed. Feed ordering and recommendations will be described when those features are ready.

2.A healthier pace

A good feed should help people find moments they care about without making endless attention the goal. Controls to manage follows, notifications, and visibility would make those choices practical, but none is available on this site.

Notification frequency, mute and hide controls, refresh behavior, autoplay, and continuous scrolling are still being considered. We’ll explain which controls are available before launch.

3.Recommendations and control

If the feed personalizes its ordering, we’ll explain the main signals and available controls. The feed’s ordering and use of personalization have not been confirmed yet. We’ll describe them after the implementation is settled.

4.Product status

The feed exists only as a product concept. The current public site does not contain a timeline, following system, likes, comments, notifications, or recommendation engine. The feed’s ordering, refresh behavior, controls, and ranking signals have not been confirmed yet. We’ll share those details before the hosted release.

5.Chronological and ranked feeds

A chronological feed usually sorts eligible posts by a time rule, while a ranked feed reorders them using signals chosen by the service. A mixed feed can use both. kookey has not announced which approach it will use, which signals may affect visibility, or whether a user can change the ordering. This distinction matters because a host cannot infer why a post appeared or disappeared from a timeline until the rules are explained.
