In short
Everything you host is listed under Communities in the web app — communities on your own Marks and the ones your Occasions created. From each one you reach its Dashboard (posts, members, invites, messages), Customize (how it looks and how prints work), and the Print station.
These screens are built for the web and work on a phone: in the Linxy App they open inside the app through Advanced web access. The member side — reading, posting, the album — is native in the app.

Turning a community on
Open the Linxy Mark’s community settings, switch on Enable Community and choose the type: Active Community (free and built in, with its own messenger) or Fusion Community (encrypted Fusion Connections for commercial use). The type is permanent for that Mark.
Occasions don’t need this step: publishing an Occasion creates its community, and you are its host.
Settings that shape the community
| Setting | Choices |
|---|---|
| Who can post | All members, or owner only (a broadcast) |
| Moderation | None (posts appear at once), post-moderation (review after posting), or pre-moderation (approve before anyone sees it) |
| Media | Whether members can attach photos and videos |
| Anonymous posting | Allowed or not |
| Member list | Visible to members, or hidden |
| How members appear | Name only, name and photo, or full profile |
| Notifications | Push notifications for new member posts, and when you post |
The dashboard
| Area | What you do there |
|---|---|
| Posts | Write and pin posts; see every post by status |
| Moderation queue | Approve or reject posts waiting for review, one by one or in bulk |
| Members | Search members, see when they joined and were last seen, change a member’s role (member or moderator) |
| Connections and conversations | Who connected and when conversations happen. Message contents are not shown here — read and reply in the Linxy App or the web conversation client |
| Print requests | The queue of print requests: approve, print, cancel or download them, and cancel an auto-print countdown. See Requesting a print and Running the print station |
On the public community page you can also remove any post from its ⋯ menu. Moderators can do the same.
Invites and the community Linxy IQ
People connect only by scanning your Mark or Linxy IQ, or by opening one of your invite links.
| Tool | Use |
|---|---|
| Shared community link | One link anyone can use. Rotating it replaces it with a new one and disables the old |
| Personal invite link | For one person or unlimited use, with an optional label and an expiry (24 hours, 7 days, 30 days or never) |
| How new connections are handled | Auto-connect (anyone with a valid invite connects at once) or review every request yourself |
| Linxy IQ for this community | Generate a scannable Linxy IQ with a curated background or your own image, to print on cards, signage or favors. You can also request custom artwork from the Linxy team |
Customize
Customize covers how the community looks — name, icon, hero image, accent color, welcome message, your label (Host, Coach, Pastor, Organizer) and the hint in the post composer — with a live preview. It also holds everything about prints: the Print requests switch, which sizes are offered under Available print sizes (8×8 and 16×20 are off until you turn them on) and an optional custom size, Open Bar mode, Auto-print (instant or after a cancel window) and PrintNode, Limit per email address, the notification email, the Minimum resolution (DPI) and the Bypass minimum resolution switch, Default fit on paper, and Print branding. Those are covered in Print branding and scannable prints and Requesting a print.
