In short
Tap Communities on the Linxy App home screen to see every community you belong to or host, with how many new posts are waiting in each. Open one to read the feed, post, comment, react, browse the album and ask for prints.
You can change or remove anything you posted yourself: edit the words, take one photo off a post, or delete the whole post.
On this page
Your communities
The Communities list shows each community with its member count, recent activity and a badge for new posts. Communities you host and communities you are a member of are both here, under You host and Member of. A community you joined by replying to an Occasion invitation appears here too.
Reading and reacting
Open a community to see its feed. A post the host pinned sits at the top, marked Pinned by the host (or by the coach, organizer or whatever the host calls themselves). Tap a post to read its comments and add your own; tap the reaction button to react with an emoji, and tap it again to take your reaction back.
If you haven’t joined yet, you can look around first. When you are ready to join, choose the name members will see under You’ll appear as and tap Join community — your phone number and email stay private.
Posting, and adding to the album
Tap the compose button, write something, and add photos or videos if the host allows media. Photos on your post also appear in the community’s album.
Some communities review posts before anyone else sees them. If yours does, your post is marked Waiting for the host to review. Only you can see it for now. until it is approved.
Changing or removing your own posts
In the feed, tap the ⋯ menu on a post you wrote:
| Choice | What happens |
|---|---|
| Edit caption (Add a caption if it has none) | Change the words of your post |
| Remove a photo | Tap the photo to take off. It comes off your post and the album; the rest of the post stays |
| Delete post | The whole post, with its photos, is removed |
In communities where posts are reviewed first, an edited post goes back for review before members see the change. Hosts and moderators can remove any post with Remove this post in the same menu.
The album and prints
The album gathers every photo on an approved post. Open a photo to see it full screen. Where the host has turned print requests on, you can ask for a printed copy: choose the size and how many. Some hosts brand their prints with a bar at the bottom, and some make them scannable — see Scanning a printed photo.
Sharing and leaving
Use Share community link to invite someone. To leave, choose Leave community: your posts stay, and you can join again later.
For hosts
On a community you host you can also Change cover — the image at the top of the community and on its card in the list. Choose one of your photos, take one, or use a photo from the album, then pinch and drag to frame it. Moderation, settings, print branding and the print station are on the web, and open inside the Linxy App through Advanced web access. See Hosting a community.
