Terminology

We've chosen new names for things! Some are synonymous with existing social media concepts, and others are brand new and all our own.

What does Junto mean?

Junto means "together" in Spanish and Portuguese!

What is the Collective?

The Collective is a shared space that anyone on Junto can post into. You can filter content by channel (topic) and you can also view content through Perspectives (self-designed feeds).

What are Packs?

Your Pack is a group of close friends (and/or family) who evoke the most unfiltered and honest version of yourself and with whom you can share, privately.

Every person on Junto creates their own Pack. When you invite someone to your Pack, you give them access to your Pack feed, which displays the public content of everyone in your Pack, plus the private (pack-only) expressions that you share. Through your Pack you facilitate the opportunity for your closest friends to discover one another through their mutual connection, you. And, by being a part of other people's Packs, you have the same opportunity to discover new people through these trust-based connections.

To view someone else's Pack, you must be invited by the Pack owner.

Connecting by Packs is not mutual. If someone accepts your pack invitation, you will not be able to see their Pack feed unless they choose to send you an invitation.

What is my Den?

Your Den is both your public-facing profile as well as a place that will house other content you choose to archive (save) or display.

What is an Expression?

An expression is Junto's term for a post.
