 ## Sync
 
-- Forum instances discover each other via Reticulum
+- Forum instances auto-discover each other via RNS announces
 - Content is exchanged as JSON over RNS links every 5 minutes
+- Peer discovery propagates through gossip — each instance shares its known peers
 - Block lists and retractions are gossiped alongside content
 - Only new/updated content is transferred (timestamp-based)
+- Auto-discovery can be disabled in the moderation page

+## Storage
+
+- Threads are pruned after 30 days by default (configurable in moderation page)
+- Set retention to 0 to keep everything indefinitely
