User Control

User Control


User control is one of the core design principles behind fun.app.

We believe modern social platforms increasingly force users into rigid, standardized experiences controlled by opaque algorithms and engagement systems. Most platforms decide:

  • what users see
  • how content is ranked
  • how feeds function
  • how profiles look
  • what content is prioritized


fun.app was built differently.

 

We believe the platform should conform to the individual — not the individual to the platform.

Instead of forcing every user into the same experience, fun.app gives users extensive control over how the network functions for them.

 
Feed Control


Users can customize how feeds are ranked across the network.

Available ranking methods include:

  • Hot: popular content with time decay prioritizing newer posts
  • New: purely chronological feeds
  • Top: highest rated content across selectable timeframes
  • Controversial: highly debated content with significant positive and negative engagement


Users can switch between ranking systems instantly depending on how they want to browse.


Content Filtering


Users can filter content based on:

  • post types
  • media formats
  • NSFW content
  • Spicy content
  • AI-generated content


This allows users to customize the experience based on personal preferences and different social situations.


Layout Customization


fun.app also allows users to customize how content visually appears.

Users can choose:

  • expanded detailed layouts
  • compact layouts
  • fast-scrolling minimal layouts
  • Pinterest-style masonry layouts


Different layouts work better for different users and different types of browsing.


Channels


Channels allow users to organize content into custom feeds.

Instead of forcing every followed account and topic into one large mixed feed, users can create dedicated feeds around specific interests or contexts such as:

  • sports
  • friends
  • gaming
  • fashion
  • news
  • entertainment


Channels can be private or public, allowing users to either organize content personally or share curated feeds with others.


Public and Private Spaces


fun.app also gives users control over how public or private different parts of their online presence are.

Some spaces are designed for:

  • public self-expression
  • private friend interaction
  • personal organization and collection


Users do not need separate accounts to maintain different social contexts.


Interests


Users can also select interests that help personalize discovery systems across the network.

Unlike follows, interests help users discover:

  • new content
  • communities
  • channels
  • events
  • creators
  • chatrooms


that align with topics they care about.


Ultimately, user control at fun.app means users can shape the platform around their own lives, interests, and preferences instead of adapting themselves to rigid systems designed solely to maximize engagement.
