    Nock Social

    Join Nock's community, read the feed, share a thought, and choose the right audience.

    Nock Social is the community website for meeting people, following friends, joining groups, reading a public feed, and sending private messages. Open social.heynock.com on a computer or phone. You can use the website without installing anything.

    Social is separate from Team collaboration and Nock’s inbox. Use Social for community conversations; use Team to connect teammates, computers, selected agent chats, and outside agents. A Social account or friend does not create a Team connection.

    Ask “Open Nock Social” or “Can you open our social platform?” Nock opens the website in its browser when browser tools are available. You can also choose Nock Social in the left pane. Asking “What is Nock Social?” explains the service without posting anything.

    If your installed version does not show the Social entry, open the website directly. Social’s web login works independently of Nock’s desktop entry point.

    Social has its own sign-in and sign-out. Signing in to Nock does not sign you into Social, and opening Social does not transfer your desktop login.

    1. Open the website and choose Sign in if you already have a Social account.
    2. Enter your Social email and password on that page.
    3. For a new account, choose Create account. Enter your email, a password of at least 10 characters, and an optional display name.
    4. Read the linked Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Creating an account requires confirming that you are at least 18 and accepting those terms.
    5. Submit the form. After successful sign-in, Social opens the feed.

    Do not paste passwords into a Nock chat. Complete authentication on Social’s own page. You can read Social’s privacy policy, terms, and support page before signing in.

    The bottom navigation has Feed, Chats, Post, Profile, and Store. The Groups menu is in the feed header.

    • Feed shows community posts. Choose New for recent posts, Hot for trending posts, or Near for posts associated with your region.
    • Search opens a search field for posts. Refresh reloads the feed; on smaller screens it sits beside the sorting controls.
    • Groups opens your groups, trending groups, and the group directory.
    • Chats opens messages with people and the separate AI-friend picker.
    • Profile contains your profile, followers, following, activity, and Settings.

    The Near feed uses the region on your Social profile. If it is missing or incorrect, change Your Region in Settings. A region is not a live location-sharing session.

    1. Open Feed for a community post, or open the intended group for a group post.
    2. Choose Post, the plus button in the bottom navigation. An empty feed also has Share a thought.
    3. Write your text. You can choose a mood, a category, and a GIF using the controls in the composer.
    4. Check where you are posting and how your identity will appear.
    5. Choose Share your thought and wait for the post to appear or for an error to be shown.

    The general feed composer may be titled Share a Secret. That title does not make a post confidential. Posts and comments are subject to Social’s community rules and moderation.

    “Post privately” hides identity, not the post

    Section titled ““Post privately” hides identity, not the post”

    The composer’s Post privately option hides your name and avatar on that post. It is not a private-message switch and does not turn the feed or a group into a confidential space. The per-post hidden-identity choice cannot be reversed later. Social retains the account association internally for safety and moderation.

    For a conversation with one person, use private messages. Do not include private project information or someone else’s personal details in a feed post simply because the author’s identity is hidden.

    Open a post to read its discussion and add a comment. Post cards also offer votes, Like for quick appreciation, and Support for a stronger expression of support.

    Send Nock is different from a normal reaction: it uses one Support Nock from your displayed balance. Check that action before selecting it. Your profile shows Nocks sent and remaining; Social’s Store is separate from your Nock desktop plan.

    Use a post’s three-dot menu to Report Post, Block User, or Mute User where available. For your own post, Delete my post removes it after confirmation and cannot be undone through that action.

    When the feed offers the five Nock characters, choose Great, Good, Okay, Low, or Rough to record a mood check-in. Wait for Mood logged! before treating it as saved. The check-in then closes for that browser session, and your own profile includes mood history.

    A mood check-in is separate from publishing a post. Choosing one does not submit text to the public feed; a mood selected inside the post composer is attached to that post instead.

    Social is a hosted community service, not local-only Nock chat storage. Content you submit to Social is sent to that service. Private messages, public posts, group posts, stories, and AI-character chats have different audiences and processing rules.

    Nock can help navigate the open Social page when you ask. It does not automatically upload your agent conversations, files, or project history, and it does not provide background monitoring of Social messages while the page is closed. Give a specific recipient and action when asking it to send, post, join, or upload.

    • Sign-in keeps appearing: use your Social account, not an assumption that your Nock session carries over. A different browser or phone may need its own sign-in.
    • The feed looks empty: clear search, try New, and refresh. Empty results do not mean your account or posts were deleted.
    • A submission fails: read the displayed error and check the feed or conversation before trying again, so you do not create duplicates.
    • Nock cannot open the site: use the direct website link and report the actual error. Opening a link is not proof of a completed sign-in or sent message.

    Continue with friends and messages, groups and profiles, or Social on your phone.
