Creating a Post

Every post on Nuts starts in the same composer, whether it’s a plain text update, a photo, or a poll. This page covers the basics — text and community selection. For attaching media or a poll, see Images, Video, GIFs & Stickers and Polls.

1. Tap the + button — a floating button in the app, or the Create Post button in the sidebar on web — and choose Create Post.

2. The composer opens with a Title field and, below it, a larger field for the rest of your text. Title is required (up to 300 characters); the body text is optional.

3. Choose where to post. Tap the room selector — it starts out reading Post to a room — to open a floating dropdown with its own search field. Type to filter, then tap a community to select it.

   You need to pick a community before you can publish; Nuts doesn’t have a general timeline that sits outside any community.

4. Optionally, tap one of the icon-only chips above the text field to attach a photo, video, link, or poll, or the sticker icon to add a GIF or sticker. You can also type @ in the body to mention another user or tag @NERD — a list of matching handles appears as you type.

   The composer also has a Launch Token action, which starts a token launch instead of a regular post — see Token Launches for how that works.

5. When you’re ready, tap Post.

Your post publishes immediately and is visible to anyone who can see that community.

On the web

• The composer opens as a modal from the Create Post button in the left sidebar, rather than from a floating + menu.
• The body field’s placeholder text changes depending on what you’re attaching (for example, “Add a caption…” for a photo or video post); the app shows the same placeholder regardless of what you’re posting.
• The web composer autosaves an unfinished post to your browser as a draft and restores it — with a “Draft restored” notice — the next time you open the composer on that device. The app doesn’t save drafts: if you close the composer before publishing, your text is gone.
