Notifications, reporting and blocking

What notifies you, how to report something, how blocking works, and what happens when your content is removed.

Updated Oct 23, 2026

Notifications

The bell shows when someone follows you, comments on or likes your post, replies to your comment, mentions you, messages you or sends a message request — plus group join requests and approvals, and when something of yours is removed. Opening Notifications marks them read and clears the bell; the ones that were new stay highlighted until you leave the list. There are no notification settings yet.

Report something

Posts, comments, messages, stories and groups can be reported. Pick a reason — Spam, Selling signals or a scam, Impersonation, Harassment or hate, Sexual content, Violence or threats, Self-harm or Something else — add details if you like, and Send report. You can send up to 20 reports a day.

Block someone

From their profile, block them: you won't see each other's profiles, and they aren't told. Unblock any time in Settings → Community → Blocked.

When your content is removed

If a group's moderators or Ink remove a post, comment, message or story of yours, you're notified, the post shows who removed it, and the reason if one was given.

Community guidelines

Re-read them any time: on a phone or tablet, open the inkX ⌄ menu → Community guidelines; on a wide screen, Guidelines at the bottom of inkX's side panel; or Settings → Community → Community guidelines.
