The platform has no such term: it has two bars and an “Account Status” screen stating whether your content is eligible to be recommended. Recommendations switch off for the whole account at once.

90 days for the account, two years for a story and a reel. Word-for-word definitions of views, viewers and initial views — and a list of metrics the Help Centre doesn't describe at all.

The list closes off posts, notes, reels and stories, but the Help Centre says nothing about distribution. The closeness prediction is computed from messages instead.

All six Meta system cards read end to end: not one signal about the hour of the day. What is there instead is five windows of time and three buckets of freshness, counted for the reader.

Three predictions out of ten are computed by the card separately for the first post of the session. Plus the mechanics of the carousel, the reordering of its cards and what the platform calls informative content.

Six predictions out of ten describe taps, and among the signals sits the most specific window in all of Meta's cards: the last hundred likes over fifteen minutes. And a separate count for replies to replies.

Selection in the Explore tab goes in three stages, and among the ten predictions one counts the probability that you will tap “Not interested”. Plus two numbers: five seconds and 95 percent.

A private channel isn't found by search and isn't shown in lists of similar channels. And an invite link in open access, by the FAQ's own explicit caveat, makes it equal to a public one in content disputes.

Recommendations have a system card of their own: ten predictions and thirty-one signals. One prediction is computed by a language model — that is what the document says. Plus windows from 12 hours to 84 days.

The platform calls borders, watermarks and crediting the author immaterial edits. Instead of percentages it offers a test in one phrase, and it counts the return to recommendations over 30 days.

At the start it's eligibility for recommendations and your angle that decide, not the number of videos. We break down what switches recommendations off entirely, how an angle differs from a topic, and which numbers to look at in the first weeks.

A channel has no reach machinery: a post goes to subscribers and to nobody else. From that follow different content, different numbers and three settings that decide more than any content plan.

Paid subscriptions require a professional account with 10,000 followers and an age of 18 and over, and the availability list consists of 48 countries, with no CIS country among them. Plus withdrawal thresholds and payout dates.

The help centre names nine languages that translated Reels work in, and Russian isn't among them. We go through what that means for an author from the CIS and what to do instead of waiting.

The comment button appears as a consequence of linking a discussion group — there is no separate setting for it in the platform's documents. Plus admin signatures, without which the reader doesn't know who wrote the post.
