Will there ever be ads on Tome?
No! We are very passionate about keeping Tome ad-free. We believe ads diminish the experience of using an app like Tome, and only interrupt our Tomies’ ability to have meaningful conversations around their books.
What is and is not allowed 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.
If you’d like to learn more about what is and is not allowed on Tome, head to our Code of Honor and Terms of Service!
Is Tome an author/small-business-friendly space?
Of course, we are excited to support all kinds of bookish creators!
This being said, we may limit the amount of self-promotion if we feel it is violating our rules around spam.
We also ask that you respect Tome’s bookish spaces
Can I post NSFW content?
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.
How can I block users?
To block a user, hit the “…” either on their post or directly on their profile and then hitting “Block this user”
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?
If you think a post is offensive, untagged NSFW, or otherwise in defiance of Tome’s code of honor, please feel free to report the post to the Tome team by hitting the “…” on the upper right.
I need to contact the team about a sensitive matter.
With anything like this, please email the team at hello@tomebooks.com!
How do Tome's Communities and Moderators Work?
