Transparency Report

How This Is Ranked

Home feed

Memories from friends and followed accounts lead the feed. Business posts and group updates fill other slots. Friend-authored memories and followed businesses get stronger scoring boosts than freshness; group updates have a content-type boost. Memories remain the preferred mix, with variety between card types. Promotions use separate capped slots. Places and events are discovered in the separate Suggested for you section.

Community discovery

Public, searchable groups you have not joined are ordered by member count, largest first. When counts are equal, the group identifier determines the order. Search, category and location restrict matches. Recent activity does not affect the order. Nearby groups use your city as a filter.

People suggestions

Suggestions use people who follow you, shared groups and connections through people you follow. Nearby and community candidates can fill gaps. Home then puts mutual-friend and shared-group counts first. People you already follow and blocked accounts are excluded.

Happenings

Happenings comes from your own activity, invitations, connections and groups, subject to visibility and your selected scope. Repeated event series collapse to their next occurrence. On Home, saved invites lead, then unseen activity, with newest first. The Happenings list groups unseen items first and other items by their time. The Home recommendation switch does not change this section.

Place search

Place search puts matches in the selected country ahead of worldwide results, then prioritizes exact names, name prefixes and names containing your search words. Distance orders similar matches where a location is available. Selected filters restrict matches.

Place browsing

Where a location is available, nearer places come first. A list opened from the map keeps the viewport ordering instead; without coordinates, country browsing keeps its search-source order. Selected filters and saved or liked collections restrict the results.

Places on the map

Places must match the map area and filters. A small seed of notable places, based on Wikidata prominence, leads the results; stable place-id ordering fills the rest. Labelled paid placements use separate rotation. Payment does not make an unrelated place match.

Event search

Strong event-title matches come before weaker matches, even when farther away. Within a match tier, events starting in your chosen date window come before events carried over into it. Proximity has more scoring weight than how soon an event starts. Filters restrict matches.

Event browsing

Events starting within your selected date window appear before events that started earlier. When browsing, calendar additions, trusted event sources and cover images distinguish quality levels before proximity and upcoming date. Distance has more scoring weight than date. When other criteria are equal, event identifier determines the order. Filters and saved collections restrict matches.

Events on the map

Events must match the map area, date window and other selected filters. Card quality considers calendar interest, trusted sources and cover imagery, with upcoming time used to order similar cards. Paid placements are separately labelled and use their own ordering.

Personalize my feed

Friends and businesses you follow influence the sequence of Home posts. Switching this off scores posts by how recently they were published or shared. The available content, mix of card types and advertising limits still apply.

Search and filters influence the section where you use them. Map and Find searches, community discovery, people suggestions and Happenings have separate ordering from the Home feed.

Why This Is Shown

This business paid to advertise a matching place or event here. Matching advertisements rotate; a larger daily boost increases visibility. Change the area, search or filters to influence matching promotions. Payment changes promotional placement, not your organic search matches.

This business supplied a featured promotion. Matching campaigns are shortlisted by priority and creation time, then rotated for fairness. A promotion may be included through a subscription or trial.

A community curator marked this as a paid partnership. The curator chooses its position and duration. Apperah does not arrange this partnership.

Advertising labels open the advertiser and selection details. Older community records may lack an advertiser name; they show “Advertiser unavailable” until a curator supplies it.
