Helm sorts your feed by the interests you actually follow, not by whatever is loudest. Every post carries interest tags, and the people who read it vote those tags up. That vote is what moves a post, so the feed reflects the community instead of a black box.
Three plain-language pieces: how posts get tagged, how you steer them, and how they get scored.
Posting means picking the interests it belongs to from one shared Helm list. No free-text hashtags, so the same topic always lands in the same place.
Tap the caret on any interest tag to vote it up. If a post is tagged wrong, the votes say so, and it stops surfacing for that interest.
Net votes feed the ranker alongside the interests you follow and how fresh a post is. New posts get a fair look and stale ones fade.
Open any post and the interests sit right under the author, each with its current vote count. Tap the caret to add your vote and the post moves in that interest.
Tap a tag to boost this post in that interest.
You cannot buy your way up a Helm feed. These are the signals that move a post.
Posts tagged with interests on your list start closer to the top of your feed.
Up votes on a tag, damped so a small group cannot brigade a post to the top.
Scores decay over time so the feed keeps moving and new creators get a real shot.
Interest media is the foundation. The same account carries into shopping, podcasts, memberships, and the weekly Leagues.
