Social

Term	Definition
activity	Your activity feed shows what you and the people you can see have recently done on Elonn, like joining an event or replying to a conversation.

conversation	A conversation is a group discussion with a title, shared publicly, inside a community, or privately with specific people.
discovery	Discovery is how Elonn figures out which members and communities you're close enough to see, based on the communities you share. It isn't search, and it isn't who's "following" you.

social-dm	A Social DM is a private one-to-one message that starts from something in Social, like a community or event, and stays tied to that context.
visibility	Visibility controls who can see something you share: public to everyone, just your circle, just a community, or just the people involved.

Spatial

carry	Carry is the part of your world that travels with you wherever you go, your messages, your calendar, the things you're keeping close.
