Discovery
Scour helps you discover new content, topics, and sources. This page covers how content surfaces in your feed and ways to find more.
How Content Discovery Works
When you add interests, Scour searches all community-contributed sources for matching content. You don't need to subscribe to anything to start seeing relevant posts.
If you've subscribed to feeds, your default view switches to just those sources. You can toggle "Scour all feeds" (in the filter menu) to search broadly again.
Popular Posts
The Popular Posts page shows what's trending across Scour, ranked by likes. You can filter by timeframe and subscribe to popular posts as a feed.
Search
Search uses semantic matching, so you can describe what you're looking for in natural language rather than guessing exact keywords. By default, search looks through your subscribed feeds; toggle "Scour all feeds" to search everything.
Similar Posts
When you click a post to open its preview, you'll see related content below. These suggestions are filtered by your interests, so they're relevant to what you care about.
Discovering New Topics
As you read and react to posts, Scour suggests new interests you might want to add. You'll also find inspiration by browsing Popular Interests. See Interests for details on how topic recommendations work.
Discovering New Sources
Scour recommends feeds based on your interests and surfaces popular or recently added sources. See Feeds for details on feed recommendations and discovery.
Finding Other Users
The Browse Users page shows active users and their interests. You can follow someone's taste by subscribing to their likes or personalized feed as a source. Scour will then search that content for posts matching your interests.
