Publishing & Visibility

Keep a character private or share her with the community — how visibility works, the review that going public goes through, and discovery tags.

1 min readUpdated July 13, 2026

Every character you create starts private. Making her public — so the whole community can find and chat with her — is entirely opt-in, and it goes through a quick review first.

Private vs. public#

  • Private (default) — only you can find her and chat with her. Everything you do with her stays yours.
  • Public — discoverable by everyone on Explore, and open for anyone to start a chat with.

Making a character public#

From My Characters, choose Make Public on the character and confirm. She's then submitted for review — once approved, she goes live on Explore for the community.

Discovery tags#

Public characters can carry discovery tags that help the right people find them on Explore. Tags are grouped across Style, Relationship, Orientation, Dynamic, Vibe, Kink, Roleplay, and Setting — well-chosen tags put your character in front of the audience most likely to love her.

Going public is a commitment#

Once a character is public, she can't be deleted — you'd have to take her private again first. Treat publishing as sharing her with the world: it opens her up to everyone, and there's a review gate on the way in to keep the community's public roster clean.

Where public characters show up#

Approved public characters appear in the Explore grid alongside the team's and community's characters, and anyone can start a conversation with them. Your private characters never appear there — they're visible only to you.
