Posts, votes, questions & articles
Most of a circle’s content lives in the timeline. This page walks through the kinds of content you’ll meet and how to take part.
Posts: likes and comments
Section titled “Posts: likes and comments”- Tap Like to show you enjoyed a post; tap again to undo.
- Reply to the author or other members in the comments; you can’t edit or delete your own comments — contact the circle admin if one needs to be removed.
- Authors can edit a post at any time — an Edited mark shows afterwards — and can delete their own posts.
- Some circles let members post too (the circle owner sets who can post). A post can carry images, or a single video.
Vote posts
Section titled “Vote posts”The author runs a vote where you pick one option or several, with a deadline anywhere from 1 hour to 30 days. Once voting closes, you can see who voted for each option. Some vote posts are also lottery posts: voting automatically enters you in the draw.
Ask a question
Section titled “Ask a question”In circles with questions turned on, every post has an Ask Question button underneath. Only you and the author can see a question while it waits for an answer — it stays out of the timeline. When answering, the author chooses public (everyone can see it) or private (only you). Track your history under My Questions / My Answers.
Articles
Section titled “Articles”Articles are long-form pieces published by the circle owner or a lecturer, pushed to you as soon as they go out. Some are grouped into collections. Like posts, articles come with visibility levels: public, Trial (period)Free trial days with membership content open — nothing is charged automatically.Read more →, members only. If the circle sells a Member tierA tier a circle sells on top of membership: it unlocks tier-only posts, articles, strategies, and public answers without changing your role, membership, or chat access.Read more →, an article can also be tier-only.
Tier-gated content
Section titled “Tier-gated content”If the circle sells a member tier, some posts, articles, strategies, or public answers are marked tier-only. Without the tier you see a teaser and an unlock card; buying the tier opens the full text immediately.
A tier only unlocks content — it never changes your role, membership, or chat and activity eligibility. See Buying & renewing membership.
Invite-code-gated content
Section titled “Invite-code-gated content”Some circles (mostly Trading Hub ones) carry posts, strategies, or articles marked “Unlock with inviter code”. A gated article still shows its title and opening, tagged “Invitation code required”; a gated post or strategy shows only a locked cover in the timeline. Either way the body opens only to members invited by one of the circle’s designated inviters.
To unlock:
- On the locked cover tap Bind an inviter code and bind that inviter’s code on Mixin RewardsMixin's invitation-rebate program: an inviter earns a rebate on an invitee's Mixin trading after the invitee binds their code. Circles decide whose codes count via the Mixin Rewards page; invitees also unlock gated content and claim "Rewards invitees" red packets.Read more → — the code usually comes from the member who brought you into the circle.
- Come back to the cover and tap Already bound? Re-check; once it passes, the full text opens.
- If it still fails, the inviter you bound is not on the circle’s designated list — try another circle member’s code.
Channels
Section titled “Channels”ChannelTopic-based post sections; the General channel includes everyone.Read more → organize posts by topic. Everyone starts in the General channel; Subscribe to the channels you care about and your timeline shows only those.
Try the timeline
Section titled “Try the timeline”The lab below puts every content type from this page into one timeline: tap like next to the Edited mark, cast a vote to watch counts update live and voter names wait for the deadline, ask a question and wait for a public or private answer, then use the console to buy the tier and switch inviter-code bindings to watch tier-only and gated content open, and finally subscribe to the Flash channel.

My questions
If something goes wrong
Section titled “If something goes wrong”- Locked content won’t open — you need membership or the circle’s member tier: see Buying & renewing membership. In a trial circle you can preview some content.
- Content marked “Unlock with inviter code” won’t open — this content opens by invite code, not membership: see “Invite-code-gated content” above.
- The post button is missing — this circle limits posting to admins or lecturers.
