Guide

How it works

Everything a new member needs: what a run is, what reactions do, and how ranks and the council work.

A book written together

Incwadi Yomjolo is a book about relationships that members write together. Each book has chapters, and you add verses, short posts, to a chapter.

Every verse has an intent, the reason you're posting it: a joke, a confession, a red flag, a vow and more. Write a verse →

Writing

  • Plan verses as drafts and post them when you're ready.
  • For a few minutes after posting you can fix your verse; you can delete it any time.
  • See something hurtful? Report it from the verse's menu, or block the member.

Like, I relate, Promote

  • Like: you enjoyed it. You can take it back.
  • I relate: it's your story too. You can take it back.
  • Promote: you think everyone should read it. You get a few each run; higher ranks get more.

Points per reaction: Like 1 · I relate 2 · Promote 5

A verse's points earn it a tier:

Runs become Books

A run lasts 27 days. While it's live, chapters fill up to 50 verses; some chapters have their own limit.

When the run ends it is bound into a Book. Books never change, and your verses stay in them. Open the Library →

Ranks

Verses that reach Faya 🔥 or higher count as quality posts. Quality posts raise your rank, and your rank never resets.

What each rank gives you →

The council

Chapters. Between runs, members from Witness up propose chapter names and vote, Keepers ratify or strike, and the list locks when the timer runs out. Council →

Ratings. During a Big Run, the top ranks vote on tier thresholds, reaction weights and tier names. A change passes with more yes than no, weighted by rank, and at least three voters; the admin confirms it and it applies from the next run. Ratings →

A chapter trends when it's busy right now: new verses, replies, Promotes and reactions in the last few hours. Older activity counts for less, so the badge comes and goes.
