Pulse Help
Posting, profiles, Spaces, collections, reports, filters, notifications, link cards, and safe NHUE community flow.
Pulse Posting Guide
Pulse is the NHUE community layer: a feed, profile system, Spaces, Showcase posts, saved collections, notifications, reports, and creator-friendly sharing tools. This guide covers the main flows before the Pulse 2.0 milestone.
Posting basics
- #OffTopic is the default topic for general community posts.
- #NSFW automatically marks the post as 18+.
- Pressing the 18+ toggle also switches the topic to #NSFW.
- #Adult is for mature discussion topics, but does not automatically mark the post 18+.
- Use links instead of uploads when you want to share images, videos, marketplace pages, or 3D models.
- Use Visibility: Private when you want to test a post/embed without publishing it to everyone.
- Use the post Actions menu for Copy Link, Edit, Delete, Pin to Profile, Add to Collection, Redraft, or Report when available.
Character counting
- Each URL counts as 1 character, no matter how long the link is.
- Each Pulse emoji shortcode counts as 1 character.
- Each
[code]block counts as 1 character, with safety limits so giant code dumps do not break the feed. - Normal text still counts normally.
Safe formatting
Pulse uses safe BBCode-style formatting, not raw HTML. HTML tags should not execute inside posts.
[b]bold[/b]
[i]italic[/i]
[u]underline[/u]
[quote]quoted text[/quote]
[spoiler]hidden text[/spoiler]
[size=1]small[/size]
[size=5]large[/size]Code blocks
Code blocks are collapsed by default, show line numbers and lightweight colors, and include a Copy button.
[code]
using UnityEngine;
public class PulseExample : MonoBehaviour
{
void Start()
{
Debug.Log("Hello from Pulse!");
}
}
[/code]Pulse emojis
Use the composer emoji picker or type any backend-defined shortcode/alias. Admin-uploaded emojis live in the Pulse Emoji Library outside the plugin folder.

Use aliases you define in Pulse > Emoji Library.Direct images and normal links
- Direct image links can show clean image previews in the post.
- Up to 4 direct image links can preview in one post.
- Normal website links show as shorter labels like example.com/….
- Links still point to the original URL when clicked.
Supported embeds and cards
Paste a supported link into a post and Pulse will try to show a no-storage embed or preview card. The media stays hosted by the provider, not on NHUE’s server.
Fab and Unity links use safe marketplace preview cards. Sketchfab links can show a 3D viewer, and direct GLB/GLTF links can show a Pulse 3D Model Preview card. Some providers may fall back to a regular link card if their embed service blocks or changes something.
Mature / 18+ posting
- Mark mature image/video links as 18+.
- #NSFW is the strict mature-content topic and automatically enables 18+.
- Users who do not allow mature content, or users under 18, should not see mature posts through Pulse.
- Supported adult embed providers are currently Pornhub and YouJizz.
- Approved adult-provider links automatically force #NSFW + 18+, even if another topic was selected.
- Adult embeds stay no-storage: Pulse does not download videos, thumbnails, or adult media to NHUE.
- Adult embeds load behind a Reveal 18+ Embed card instead of loading immediately.
- xHamster is not currently supported because live testing did not expose a reliable current embed route for its newer pages.
Profiles, Spaces, and collections
- Profiles can show your avatar, banner, theme, bio, links, favorite NHUE editor, skills/tools, media, Spaces, interests, and a featured collection.
- Pulse Spaces are official NHUE rooms and user-created rooms for focused discussion.
- My Spaces shows rooms you created. Joined Spaces shows rooms you joined.
- Collections let you save posts into named groups. Public collections can appear on your profile; private collections stay private.
Reports, filters, and moderation
- Use Report from a post, profile, or Space when something looks unsafe, spammy, abusive, or against the rules.
- Community reports go to the moderation queue. They are separate from the Tester Bug Report Station.
- Tester bug reports are for broken layouts, buttons, permissions, refresh issues, confusing flows, or install/testing problems.
- Personal content filters can warn or hide posts using words/hashtags across feed, Spaces, profiles, and notifications.
Notifications and discovery
- The Notifications page collects replies, reactions, follows, mentions, Space alerts, messages, moderation notices, and system notices.
- Explore helps discover posts, Spaces, people, tags, and Showcase media while respecting visibility and privacy rules.
- Empty states now include guidance. When a page is quiet, use the suggested buttons or links to find the next action.
Storage reminder
Pulse is designed to protect NHUE server storage. Regular post uploads can be disabled from the backend. Profile avatars and banners are persistent, replaced profile images may be cleaned up, link cards are cached, and provider/media cards should avoid storing large external media on NHUE.
