Sharing and visibility

Every rabbit hole has one of four visibility settings. You pick it when you post.

Rabbit holes that aren't public show a small icon next to their time, so you always know who can see them. Only public rabbit holes count toward trends, topics, and community answers.

In Settings, under Privacy, choose who New rabbit holes are visible to. You can still change it for any single rabbit hole when you post.

Select Share under a rabbit hole to:

• Copy the link. Anyone who opens it still needs permission to see the rabbit hole. Links you copy while signed in end with your username, so if someone makes an account from one, they can choose to follow you as they set up, and you're told they joined only if they do.
• Send it to a person or into a discussion, with an optional note. It arrives in Messages. Sent to a person, it also comes as a push, or in the email when they've been away, if they've turned those on; sent into a discussion, it counts as a new message there.

To hand someone a rabbit hole so they can take it further, use Rabbit Relay instead.

You can delete any rabbit hole you posted. Deleting removes it for everyone. If people forked it before you deleted it, their forks stay theirs. See Forks and Rabbit Relay.
