Frequently Asked Questions

Will there ever be ads on Tome?

  • You can share all types of media on Tome. From fan art, photos, theories, and memes, to polls and links to your fanfic. You can also customize your profile and organize your content into collections.

Can I post NSFW content?

  • Tome is an app for sci-fi and fantasy readers aged 17+. In an effort to make this app safe for all our readers, we ask that any posts that would be considered 18+ or on the "spicier" side in imagery or content be tagged with #NSFW.

  • You are free to post NSFW content as long as you are diligent about tagging it as such (#NSFW)

  • All users automatically have the #NSFW tag filtered out of their feed. If you would like to find NSFW content, you can go into your profile customization settings and remove #NSFW from your blocked tags.

  • To block a user: If you see someone you’d rather not interact with or see again, you can block them by hitting the “…” either on their post or directly on their profile and then hitting “Block this user”

    • Similarly to tags, you can view and manage your list of blocked users through your settings

How can I report content or users for breaching the Code of Honor?
