What is Signals?

Signals is the catch-up stream. It gathers what the people, Spaces, venues and performers you follow have been doing, plus what Joinue publishes in your city, and shows it strictly newest first.

What makes it different

• The stream is chronological, always. There's no sort control and nothing gets promoted out of order inside it. Where an item sits is decided by when it happened, full stop.
• A short band above it teases out a few posts you'd otherwise scroll past: someone you rarely hear from, or something several people are discussing. It's a second look, never a reorder, and each one is still sitting in its real place in the stream below.
• It ends. Signals covers the last 30 days and stops. When you hit the bottom you get a real end, not a spinner that keeps feeding you.
• Nothing is there to hook you. No unread counts to clear, no streaks, no suggested strangers. You catch up and you're done.
• The graph is closed. Everything in your stream comes from something you chose to follow, so nobody can work their way into your feed.

Two weights render in the stream. Things somebody actually wrote (posts and photos) come as full cards you can react and reply to. Facts nobody wrote (a Space added an event, a venue added a weekly night, a show moved) come as compact rows, because there's no author for a reaction to land on.

Where to find it

Signals lives at /signals. There's a broadcast icon in the top bar on a computer and in your home header on a phone, and your home page carries a short peek of the most recent few. A dot on the icon means there's something newer than the last time you opened it. It's a dot, not a number: this isn't a queue to empty.
