Blogs
Blogs let you publish and follow content peer-to-peer inside Anonomi Messenger. Posts sync through the same decentralized network used for messaging — no servers, no platforms, no algorithms.
Overview
Section titled “Overview”Each Anonomi user can create a blog. Blog posts are distributed to followers through the peer-to-peer network, just like messages. There is no central server hosting content — everything is stored locally on each device.
Blogs support text, images, and offline map locations.
Creating blog posts
Section titled “Creating blog posts”To create a new post:
- Open Blogs from the main navigation.
- Tap the compose button.
- Write your post. You can include:
- Text — the main body of the post.
- Images — attach images alongside text (see Text with Images).
- Map locations — share offline map coordinates within a post.
- Tap Post to publish.
Posts are immediately visible to your followers and appear in their Blog Feed.
Likes and comments
Section titled “Likes and comments”Followers can like and comment on your posts. Interactions sync peer-to-peer — there is no central server collecting engagement data.
- Likes — a single-tap reaction visible to the post author and other followers.
- Comments — text replies attached to a specific post.
View interactions
Section titled “View interactions”Tap on a post’s like count or comment section to see who has interacted with it. All interaction data is synced between peers and stored locally.
Reblog
Section titled “Reblog”You can reblog a post from someone you follow to share it on your own blog. Reblogged posts appear in your blog with attribution to the original author, allowing your followers to discover new content.
Blog Feed vs Individual Blog
Section titled “Blog Feed vs Individual Blog”Anonomi provides two ways to browse blog content:
- Blog Feed — a unified, chronological feed of posts from all blogs you follow. This is the default view when you open Blogs.
- Individual Blog — view all posts from a single blog by navigating to that person’s profile or blog page.
Sharing & following
Section titled “Sharing & following”Invitations
Section titled “Invitations”You can invite contacts to follow your blog by sending a blog invitation through a conversation. The recipient can accept to start following your blog.
Sharing your blog status
Section titled “Sharing your blog status”Your blog can be shared with contacts for discovery. When shared, contacts can choose to follow your blog and see your posts in their feed.
RSS import
Section titled “RSS import”Anonomi supports importing external RSS feeds alongside peer blogs. See the RSS Feeds section below for details.
Blog deletion
Section titled “Blog deletion”You can delete individual posts or your entire blog at any time. Deleted content is removed from your device and a deletion notice is sent to followers. Since content is stored locally on each follower’s device, deletion propagates as peers sync.
Notification settings
Section titled “Notification settings”Blog notifications can be configured per blog you follow. You can choose to receive notifications for:
- New posts
- Likes on your posts
- Comments on your posts
Adjust these in the blog’s settings or the overflow menu.

Deduplication
Section titled “Deduplication”If multiple RSS feeds or peers share the same content, Anonomi deduplicates posts to avoid showing duplicates in your feed.
