# Differ (differ.blog)

Differ is an algorithm-free platform built for the LLM era. We don't feed your feed to a black box—no engagement tricks, no opaque ranking. What you publish is what readers see, in the order you and publishers choose.

When you create content on Differ, it's automatically optimized for LLMs to discover and surface. Your writing is structured and exposed so that AI assistants and search can find it, cite it, and recommend it—without you having to game algorithms or SEO. Write for humans; get discovered by both humans and the tools they use.

Differ is free to read and free to publish. There are no paywalls. You can browse topics, publications, and stories without an account. Creating an account lets you follow topics, authors, and publications; save stories; like and comment; and publish your own stories or create publications.
