Profiles, Scenes, and Following

Follow owners and join scenes. Every profile shows builds, posts, mods, and PSI tier.

Profiles, scenes, and the follow graph turn SPOOLED from a catalog into a community. Every member has a profile. Discover is the default tab of the feed you see when you sign in and is unfiltered; the Following tab is the one shaped by who you follow and which forums and scenes you've joined.

What lives on a profile page

  • Builds — every build the member owns or has owned; builds are public.
  • Posts — the chronological post timeline.
  • Mods — a count of every mod fitted across the member's builds, shown as a stat tile. To find others running a specific part, use the Installs tab on that mod's page.
  • Reviews — marketplace reviews other members have left about the member as a seller. The tab appears only once they have at least one.
  • How-to guides — every install how-to authored.
  • Follow / unfollow — direct from the profile.

Scenes — what they are

SPOOLED's joinable groups are called scenes — culture boards like JDM Legends or K-Swap. Joining a scene, or a forum (forums are joinable too), adds its threads to the Following tab of your feed. Scenes show a member count rather than a public roster, and have no separate events page.

Following — what changes

Following another member puts their posts, build updates, and how-to guides on the Following tab of your feed, alongside threads from any forums or scenes you've joined. Discover is the default tab and is unfiltered — Following is an opt-in view, not a ranking boost. You can follow people you meet at events, owners with similar builds for inspiration, or platform experts you've learned from.

How to build a useful profile

  1. Real photo and a few-line bio. The platform's tone is owner-to-owner; placeholder profiles get less engagement.
  2. One detailed public build. Quality of one beats partial completeness of three.
  3. Post when you do work, not when you have nothing to say. The platform's feed values cadence over volume.
  4. Write at least one how-to about a part you actually installed. Highest-leverage single contribution to your profile.
  5. Answer questions in the forums on platforms you know well. Helpful-marks accumulate over years.

Privacy and visibility

Profile pages are public by default — that's the platform's social-network shape. Builds are public too.

Frequently asked

How do I follow someone on SPOOLED?
Open their profile and tap Follow. Following another member puts their posts, build updates, and how-to guides on the Following tab of your feed, alongside threads from any forums or scenes you've joined. Discover is the default tab and is unfiltered — Following is an opt-in view, not a ranking boost. You can unfollow at any time without notification.
What's a scene?
SPOOLED's joinable groups are called scenes — culture boards like JDM Legends or K-Swap. Joining a scene, or a forum (forums are joinable too), adds its threads to the Following tab of your feed. Scenes show a member count rather than a public roster, and have no separate events page.
What's the difference between following someone and joining a scene?
Following another member puts their posts, build updates, and how-to guides on the Following tab of your feed. Joining a scene — or a forum, since forums are joinable too — adds that group's threads to the same Following tab. Scenes show a member count rather than a public roster, and have no separate events page.
