In this article
A collectible can be posted to your story. It arrives as the item itself — animated, with its number on it — and anybody watching can tap through to the thing's own page.
Wearing one is a quiet signal that sits beside your name. Posting one is an announcement, and the two get chosen for different reasons.
What you will be able to do
- check_circle Put a collectible into a story.
- check_circle Tell the difference between showing and announcing.
- check_circle Choose an audience before it goes out.
- check_circle Know who reads these stories most carefully.
The item arrives as itself rather than as a screenshot, and it stays tappable.
amp_stories A story is a different kind of showing
The item on your profile is passive. Somebody has to open your profile and look at the gifts section, which means the people who see it were already curious about you. A story is the opposite: it arrives in everybody's ring and plays whether or not anyone wanted it.
That makes the same object say a different thing. Worn, it reads as something you have. Posted, it reads as news — and news is fine when there is some, which is why this works best for the moment something arrived and badly as a recurring habit.
The tappable link is the genuinely useful part. Rather than a picture of a thing, the viewer gets a route to the thing itself, with its number and its details, which is how people who care about these actually look at them.
When to post one, and when not to
Almost all of it comes down to whether anything actually happened.
celebration Worth posting
block Leave it in the profile
Post when something happened. Wear it when you simply want it seen.

It is worth being plain about this rather than dramatic. People who target collectible holders do not need to guess who has what; they read stories and profiles, and a post showing a valuable item with a tappable link to its page is the most convenient possible research.
What follows is not that you should never post one. It is that the approaches afterwards are predictable enough to be recognised in advance: a good offer, a reason to move quickly, and at some point a page to connect a wallet to or a step to authorise. That last part is the theft, and everything before it exists to get you there.
Choosing a narrower audience for this kind of story costs nothing and removes most of the exposure. So does simply not replying.
settings Posting one
- Open the item in your profile Sharing is one of its options.
- Post it when something happened Arrival, upgrade, a thank-you.
- Name the sender if there was one With their agreement.
- Choose the audience deliberately Not everybody, by default.
- Let it expire Keeping it on the profile makes it permanent again.
- Expect offers, and ignore them Especially the good ones.
This page puts one object into a story. The curriculum step is the format itself: who sees a story and in what order, what keeping one on a profile changes, and how an audience is chosen before publishing.
