What following does
Following someone adds their public posts to your Following timeline — plus any Group-only posts they share to a group you’re in too. It is a one-way, quiet act: the person you follow isn’t notified, no counter ticks up in public, and your following list is visible only to you. To keep reading intentional, there is a limit on how many people you can follow and how many active followers an account can have — the followers and the 500 cap page explains it, including how to invite a specific friend to follow you.
Finding people
There is no explore feed and no “people you may know,” so you find people the way you would in real life — someone tells you who they are:
- Search by handle. On your phone, use the search on the Me tab and type someone’s
@username. - Scan a code. Everyone has a personal QR code under Me → My QR code, which you can show or share. Scan a friend’s with the scanner on the Me tab and confirm to follow them.
- Share a follow link. Your code is also a link (memocove.com/follow/…). On a phone with MemoCove installed it opens straight to a follow screen; on the web it shows who you are and points to the app.
- From a profile. Open anyone’s profile — from a comment, a group, or a mention — and tap Follow.
Your three timelines
MemoCove gathers posts into three plain, time-ordered timelines:
- My Posts — your home. The things you have shared, so MemoCove starts from what you make rather than from an endless feed of other people.
- Following — the public posts of the people you follow, plus their Group-only posts in groups you share, mixed with your own posts, newest first. A small dot tells you when there is something new.
- Groups — the posts shared into the groups you belong to, each shown once even if it’s in several of them.
Why every timeline is just chronological
There is no algorithm deciding what you see or in what order — every timeline is simply newest-first. That is a deliberate choice about your attention: a chronological feed has a natural end (you catch up, and you are done), while a ranked feed is engineered to never end. Combined with a cap on following and private counts, it keeps your reading circle small, knowable, and calm — a list of people you actually chose, shown in the order they posted.
