About hudr.net

Last updated 5 August 2026

hudr.net is a professional network. You keep a profile of your work, post to a feed, talk to people, look for jobs, and — if you want to — collect reviews and earn from what you publish. This page describes what is actually here today.

What hudr.net is

hudr.net sits between a social feed and a professional profile. The feed behaves like a modern social app — short posts, video, stories, comments, reactions. The profile behaves like a professional one — roles, education, certifications, skills, and a link you can put on a CV.

Everything below is a real part of the product. We have not listed anything that is planned, and we have not dressed up anything that is small. If you find a page on this site that promises something hudr.net does not do, that page is wrong and we want to hear about it — the contact page reaches us.

Who it is for

People who want their work to be findable: developers, designers, writers, freelancers, founders, students, people between jobs, and people hiring.

• No audience needed — you do not need followers for this site to be useful to you.
• No posting needed — plenty of members read, apply for jobs and message people without ever publishing anything.
• Signing up asks for two things — an email address and a password. That is all we ask at the door. Your name, photo, headline and anything else about you is yours to add later, or not.

Your profile

Your profile lives at a public address — hudr.net/@yourusername — and it holds:

• The basics — photo, cover, name, headline, bio, location and links.
• Your background — work experience, education and certifications.
• Skills — which you can back up by taking a skill assessment on the site.
• Your work — your posts, your media, and, if you enable them, your reviews.

Privacy settings control who sees what, field by field: email, phone, birthday, country, city, gender, your online and last-seen status, and whether you turn up in search.

In plain terms: you decide what a stranger sees. You can also close your account so new followers need your approval, block people, and mute people without blocking them.

The verification badge

There are two ways to get a badge, and which ones are open at any time is a setting our team controls:

• Pay for it — the badge is bought from your wallet balance.
• Submit links — send us the addresses of your profiles elsewhere for our team to review.

There is no ID document check and no minimum account age. A badge is time-limited: it has an expiry date and lapses unless it is renewed. The full rules are on the verification rules page.

Posting and discovery

• Posts — text, photos, video, audio, documents, polls and GIFs, with comments, replies and reactions.
• Reels — short video with its own full-screen feed.
• Stories — photo or video that expires 24 hours after you post it.
• Communities — topic groups you can start or join, with their own posts and their own members.
• Explore, search and bookmarks — for finding things and keeping them.

Any public post has a permanent link, and can be embedded on another website the way you would embed a video. What that means in practice: an embedded post is public by definition, because anyone who loads the page it sits on loads the post.

Connections and messaging

You can follow someone to see their posts, and connect with someone when the relationship goes both ways. Direct messages support one-to-one chats and group chats, with images, GIFs, replies and read state.

Jobs, hiring and advertising

• Jobs — browse listings, set up job alerts, and apply from your profile.
• Business accounts — post job listings and run ad campaigns.
• Boosting — pay from your wallet to put one of your own posts in front of more people.
• Marketplace — products you can browse, filter and bookmark. There is no checkout on hudr.net: nothing is bought or sold through us, and we take no payment for a marketplace item.

Ads are labelled where they appear in the feed. If you want to publish more widely, you can apply for author status from your account settings — see becoming an author.

Reviews on your profile

Profile reviews are off until you switch them on. A profile that never enabled them looks exactly like a profile on a site without the feature. If you do enable them, other members can leave a rating from 1 to 5 stars with written feedback, and you can reply to any review in public.

• You cannot delete a review of yourself. Only its author can withdraw it, or our review team can remove it.
• You can report one. Reporting a review of your own profile hides it from the public straight away — once per review — until our team looks at it or 72 hours pass, whichever comes first.
• Someone else's report works differently. When anyone other than you reports a review, it stays visible while we look at it.

You can also put a reviews widget on your own website. That widget is deliberately bare: it loads no fonts and no external assets from anyone, so putting it on your site does not hand your visitors to a third party.

Earning

• Wallet — hudr.net has one. You can top it up, send a balance to another member, spend it on boosts, ad campaigns and verification, and cash out.
• Monetization — creators can apply from settings. Eligibility is based on your follower count and, depending on our current settings, on being verified. Every application is reviewed by a person before anything is switched on.
• Payouts — once you are approved, earnings accumulate per source, you can see the breakdown and trend in your wallet, and payouts run monthly as soon as your balance clears the minimum payout amount.

Safety and moderation

Posts, stories, profiles, group chats, communities and reviews can all be reported. There is no report button on an individual comment or on a single direct message — report the post the comment sits under, or the account behind it. Reports go to a queue our team works through. We can take content out of feeds, remove it, take a feature such as author status away, suspend an account, or end it — and a suspended member is shown the reason and can send one appeal.

• Reels get an extra step. A new reel is on your own profile and with your followers straight away, but only enters the Reels feed once it has been through review. After that it is shown to a small audience first: reels people actually watch get pushed wider, reels people skip get throttled.
• Deleting your own post is a soft delete. It disappears from the site immediately, and our team can either restore it — if it turns out you deleted the wrong thing — or purge it for good.

What we do not allow is set out in the Terms of Use. The short version: no harassment, no hate, no impersonation, no sexual content involving minors, no spam, no scraping.

Privacy, in short

The Privacy Policy is the full account. Four things are worth knowing before you read it:

• The security log runs continuously. While you are signed in, it keeps a row for every day you are active, holding your IP address, browser, device and the city our IP-lookup provider maps you to. It is written by a check that runs at most once every five minutes, it is visible to our team and not to you, and it is deleted automatically after 30 days. What you can see yourself is the list of devices currently signed in to your account, in settings, where you can also end every other session.
• Your sign-up IP address is kept. The IP address you signed up from is stored on your account and is not deleted on that 30-day schedule.
• Google sees every visitor. Every page on this site loads its fonts from Google, so Google sees the IP address of everyone who opens a hudr.net page — including people who are not members. The one exception is the reviews widget described above.
• Giphy sees anyone who views a GIF. GIFs are served from Giphy's own network, so Giphy sees the IP address of anyone who views one, including inside a private message. GIF searches are made by our server, not by your browser, so your search terms do not carry your IP with them.

We do not sell your personal information. The companies that do handle some of it for us — media storage, email, SMS for phone codes, IP lookup and Google sign-in — are all named in the Privacy Policy.

Leaving

Deleting your account signs you out on every device and stops your profile, posts, comments and followers being visible to anyone on hudr.net — to logged-out visitors and to search engines too. You cannot undo it yourself. It is not a wipe of our database: what we keep afterwards, and why, is listed in full in the Privacy Policy.

Short of leaving, you can correct anything on your profile and change your email or phone whenever you like. We keep a record of email and phone changes for 365 days as an anti-takeover measure.
