distrikt v1.25 Introducing Pinned Posts and Link Previews
Gm distrikters! ☕
We’re back with another product release and this time we’re keeping it short and sweet.
But first a note on growth: distrikt continues to grow with over 800k posts and +120k accounts. We’re excited to see this growth in a bear market and without any marketing spending .
This latest product update revolved around 2 features that have been heavily requested in our feedback form: pinned posts and link previews.
These two new features can be considered a “low hanging fruit” that will provide users with a more sophisticated content creation experience.
Pinned Posts: Keep Your Important Content Front and Center
This features allows users to pin up to three of their favorite or special posts to the top of their activity feed. No matter how often they post, the most important content will always be prominently displayed in the activity tab on their profile. From personal announcements to professional news, having the ability to keep these posts at the top of your profile will help increase visibility and engagement.
Link Previews: Get a Better Sense of What You’re Clicking On
Link previews will display a preview of the linked content when a user adds a link to a post. No more boring URL!
Now, users will have a better sense of what they can expect before clicking through, and reduce clickbait and misleading links. This feature will improve the user experience and bring a bit more transparency to our interactions.
Support for non-latin hashtags
distrikt now supports hashtags with non-latin characters such as Chinese, Greek, Russian, Japanese, Thai, etc.
Hashtag feature makes it more convenient for users to find and view posts by different communities and discover new content based on their interests.
Users can now post with hashtags in their native languages. By clicking on a hashtag, users can view more related posts that have been tagged with that specific hashtag. We’re happy to be able to roll this out in time for the Chinese New Year! 🥳
On top of this, we’ve also fixed some bugs that were impacting user experience. We’re excited to see how our users take advantage of these new features as we continue to enhance their experience on distrikt!
This is our second product release of 2023, and we’re not slowing down. Despite the bear market, our team has remained consistent in its commitment to building and improving the platform.
Keep an eye out for more updates as we work to bring you the best possible experience on distrikt!
