Find people worth following on day one

Explore brings posts from outside your circle, trending hashtags and people suggestions into one place.

The hardest day on any social network is the first one. An empty feed is not a product — and most platforms answer this by handing you a list of celebrities you have no relationship with.

Asyncbit starts with your interests. During onboarding you pick from 16 topics, and shared interests are one of the signals behind the people suggested to you. From there, Explore (also called Discover) does three jobs: it shows posts from people you don't follow yet, it lists the hashtags trending over the past 48 hours, and it suggests people to follow based on shared interests, mutual follows, activity and more.

Search fills the gaps. Asyncbit has no usernames or handles, so you find people by the name they display; search also covers named posts and hashtags. Anonymous posts don't show up in search, and nothing from people you've blocked or muted is shown to you. Once you follow a few people, the Following feed fills with their posts, For you gives them a boost, and a follow back from anyone opens a private chat between you.

How discover people works on Asyncbit

  1. 1

    Pick your interests

    Choose from 16 topics when you sign up. Shared interests feed into who gets suggested to you.

  2. 2

    Browse Explore

    Read posts from people outside your follow list and follow the ones worth hearing from again.

  3. 3

    Open a trending tag

    Tap a trending hashtag to see its page, newest posts first. Tags can be browsed but not followed.

  4. 4

    Follow people

    Following someone adds their posts to your Following feed and boosts them in For you. A mutual follow also opens a private chat.

  5. 5

    Search by name

    Look people up by display name. Search also finds named posts and hashtags.

What makes it worth using

Useful before you follow anyone

Explore works on a brand-new account.

Suggestions with a reason

Shared interests and mutual follows, not a list of celebrities.

Trending hashtags

Drawn from the last 48 hours of posts.

Mutual followers on profiles

Profiles show which of the people you follow also follow them, which makes it easier to tell a friend or colleague from a stranger with the same name.

Search by name, post or tag

One search box covers people, named posts and hashtags.

Discover people questions

What do I see before I follow anyone?
Explore: posts from people you don't follow, trending hashtags and suggested people.
Can I follow a hashtag?
No. You can open and browse any tag's page, but tags can't be followed.
How are people suggested?
From shared interests, mutual follows, activity and other signals.
Will I see people I've blocked or muted in Explore?
No. Blocking hides content in both directions, and muting hides that person's content from you.
Why can't I find someone by username?
Asyncbit doesn't have usernames or handles. Search for the name they display on their profile.
