# Posts

> Forum threads and feedback posts on boards. Replies are comments on the messaging core, votes are reactions, and each post is a moderation item members can report. Feedback posts move through a status from open to done.

```

The command also installs `updated-at`, `tenant`, `access`, `comments`, `subjects`, `reactions`, `moderation`, `messaging`.

## Configure

Add the block to `better-supabase.config.ts`:

```ts
import { defineConfig } from "better-supabase/config";

export default defineConfig({
  blocks: {
    // Required by posts; add installs them too.
    "updated-at": {},
    tenant: {},
    access: {},
    comments: {},
    subjects: {},
    reactions: {},
    moderation: {},
    messaging: {},
    // Modes: "managed", "custom". The default is "managed".
    posts: { mode: "managed" },
  },
});
```
