Transparency Report

How your feed is ordered

The main parameters that determine what you see in the feed, and in what order, are:

• Your connections — plans, invites, and activity from the friends and groups you’re connected to come first.
• Proximity & relevance — places and events near you or matching filters you’ve set.
• Recency — newer and time-relevant items (e.g., something happening soon) rank higher.
• Your recent activity — the categories of places and events you have liked, RSVP’d to, or viewed in roughly the last 90 days lift similar items. You can switch this personalisation off in Settings > Data & personalization > AI Recommendations; your feed then falls back to proximity and recency alone.

Ranking uses these parameters — not profiling of your personal characteristics. You can influence your feed through your privacy and notification settings, and by who you connect with. (This explains the main parameters under Digital Services Act Article 27; see also our AI Ethics Policy.)

How communities are discovered

When you browse public communities, the main parameters that determine which appear and in what order are:

• Size & activity — communities with more members and more recent activity rank higher.
• What you searched or filtered — the name, topic, and location you searched for.

This is the main-parameters disclosure for community discovery under Digital Services Act Article 27. A community organiser may feature an event or place inside their community; where that is a paid placement it is labelled a paid partnership and is not an organic recommendation (see Why you see promotions below and our Community Group Organizer Terms).

Happenings and public events

The Happenings rail and the public events directory show public events and open invites. The main parameters that determine what appears and in what order are:

• Proximity — events at places near you or near the area you’re browsing.
• Time — events happening soon rank higher.
• Category and filters — what you search or filter for.
• Your network’s sharing — an open invite can reach you because someone you follow posted it, or because a participant re-shared it to their own audience.

Venues can choose not to have their events shown in Happenings. Events registered by ordinary users are labelled “User created” so you can tell them apart from venue-confirmed events. This is the main-parameters disclosure for these surfaces under Digital Services Act Article 27.

Why you see promotions

A business may pay to promote a place or event so more people discover it. When that happens:

• It is clearly labelled with a “Promoted” badge.
• Opening it takes you to the place or event — and the business — being promoted.
• Promotions are selected on general signals like location and event category — not sensitive characteristics, not behavioural profiling, and not a profile of you.

This reflects Digital Services Act Article 26. The rules businesses must follow are in our Business Promotion & Advertising Terms.

Our transparency reports

We will publish periodic transparency reports about how we moderate content and how we handle government/law-enforcement requests, in line with Digital Services Act Articles 15 and 24.
