Spaces overview

Spaces are organized discussion areas based on topics. They help you keep posts and conversations grouped in a way that makes sense for you and your members.

Spaces can be used alongside your products and plans. You can use them to spark discussions and encourage members to interact with each other, or keep things simple by using them as an announcements feed.

When you create your account, we’ll automatically set up two spaces for your home feed. Members will follow both by default, so they don’t miss anything important:

Announcements – Your broadcast channel. Only you can post here, and all members can see it.
General – The main space for your community. Members can post and interact with each other.

You can edit these spaces at any time — including changing permissions, access, and settings — to match how you want to organize your account.

Creating a welcome post

You can easily create posts for your spaces directly from your home feed, making it simple to share updates and content with your members.

A welcome post is a great way to introduce members to your account and help them get started. You can use it to share key information like how to access products, how to engage with others, or any guidelines you’d like them to follow.

For example:

If you have an active community, you can explain how your spaces work, what members can find in each one, and invite them to introduce themselves
If you mainly sell products, you can guide members on how to navigate their dashboard and access what they’ve purchased

It’s a simple way to make sure members know exactly what to do when they first log in.

Here’s how to create a welcome post:

From your home feed, click New Post.
Create your post (announcement, update, or anything you’d like to share).
Select the space where you want the post to appear by clicking on the space dropdown menu at the bottom.
Click Post, then choose to publish it right away or schedule it for later.

You can repeat these steps to create as many posts as you'd like.

Creating new spaces

You can also create additional spaces to better organize your content and community.

For example, you might create spaces that are open to all members, or set up more specific spaces that are only available to people on certain plans or who purchased specific products. This gives you flexibility to organize conversations and control who sees what.

Here's how to create a new space:

From your home feed, click on your site name and select Admin from the dropdown menu.
From the Admin dashboard, click Spaces in the sidebar menu.
Click "+ New space" to create a new space.
Enter your space details, such as the name, description, and image, and configure its permissions. This lets you control who can access the space, who can post in it, and how it’s used by your members.
