# fomo's Social Feed: What It Does (and What 'Copy Trading' Actually Means)

> fomo's marketing advertises copy trading, but the help center doesn't document it. What the social feed actually does, and how to use it without just following the crowd.

fomo's own marketing runs a section called "How Copy Trading Works on fomo." Its official help center, the more authoritative and detailed source, doesn't document copy trading as an existing feature at all. That gap is worth walking through carefully, because it changes what you should actually expect from the app.

> **Key takeaway:** What fomo definitely has: a live feed where you can follow other traders and watch their trades happen. What it may not have, despite the marketing language: automated copy trading, where those trades get mirrored into your own account without you doing anything. Follow, don't assume you're copying.

## What the feed actually does

You can follow individual traders on fomo, and their buys and sells show up in a feed you can browse — similar in spirit to following someone on a social app, but the "posts" are trades. This is genuinely fomo's core product, and it's the feature that separates it from a plain buy/sell app like Moonshot, or from wallet-tracking tools like GMGN that show you activity without the social-following layer.

What it gives you:

- **Visibility into what other traders are doing**, in something close to real time.
- **A way to discover tokens** you might not have found through search or trending lists.
- **Social proof** — seeing a trader you follow buy something can prompt you to look into it yourself.

## What "copy trading" would mean, and why the gap matters

Copy trading, as the term is normally used, means your account automatically mirrors another trader's positions — they buy, you buy, without you manually confirming each trade. That's a materially bigger claim than "you can see what someone bought." fomo's marketing page describes something that sounds like automated mirroring; its help center, which is where fomo documents how its actual features work, has no article describing that mechanic.

> **Warning:** If a feature isn't in the help center, treat it as unconfirmed rather than assuming the marketing copy is describing something live in the app today. Check the app itself for any explicit "auto-copy" or "mirror trades" toggle before assuming your account will follow someone's trades automatically. As of this writing, we could not find one.

## How to actually use the feed well

**Treat it as a discovery tool, not a signal.** Seeing that someone you follow bought a token tells you they bought it — not why, not how much of their money it represents, not whether they're already planning to sell. Use it to find things worth researching, not things worth buying on sight.

**Watch a trader's pattern before following blindly.** Someone who posts ten small trades a day is playing a different game than someone who makes one considered trade a week. The feed shows you the action; it doesn't show you the reasoning.

**Remember the fee applies to every trade you make, whether it was your idea or inspired by the feed.** A trade you make because you saw it in the feed costs exactly the same as one you researched yourself — see our [fees guide](/guides/fees) for the real numbers, especially on smaller trades.
