Support & Documentation

Everything you need to know about the platform — how it works, what each feature does, and how to get the most out of it.

Getting Started

This is an invite-only community.

To join, you need an invite link from an existing member or admin. Invite links can be sent by email or shared as a QR code. Each link is single-use and tied to a role.

First steps after signing up

  1. 1Upload an avatar — go to Settings → Profile → Avatar.
  2. 2Fill in your bio and select your art forms so other members can discover you.
  3. 3Add your social links (Instagram, SoundCloud, GitHub, etc.) to your profile.
  4. 4Explore the directory at /artists to find and follow people.
  5. 5Check the Dashboard — it gives you an overview of what's happening.

Posts & Content

Posts are the main way to share your work. You can write an article, share a gallery, post a WIP update, create a collab request, or drop a quick tip — each type has its own purpose and appearance in the feed.
ArticleLong-form writing — tutorials, breakdowns, essays. Supports rich text, images, embeds.
GalleryA collection of images for visual work — photography, design, illustrations.
WIPWork in progress — share early stages and get feedback before something is finished.
CollabLooking for collaborators? Post what you need (skills, art forms) and invite others to reach out.
TipShort, standalone tips or techniques — quick knowledge without a full article.

Draft & publish flow

All posts start as a draft. Drafts are only visible to you in your dashboard — they won't appear in feeds. When you're ready, publish to make them public. You can return to edit a published post at any time. Posts can also be archived (hidden from feeds, restorable) or permanently deleted.

Reactions & Comments

Members can react to posts with ❤️ 👏 🔥 💡 😮. Reactions also feed into the reputation system — receiving them earns you points. Comments support nested replies; you can delete your own. Bookmarks let you save posts to read later (find them under the member menu).

Community Tools

Direct Messages

Send private 1:1 messages to any member. Open your inbox at /messages or click the Messagebutton on any artist's profile page.
RealtimeMessages arrive live — no refresh needed.
Unread badgeThe sidebar shows how many unread messages you have.
KeyboardPress Enter to send. Shift + Enter for a new line.
LayoutMessages are grouped by date with sender bubbles.

Knowledge Base

The Knowledge Base is a community-driven reference at /knowledge. Think of it less like a blog and more like a structured wiki — categorized, searchable, and built around the key concepts (aggregators) that have the biggest impact on understanding a domain.
DomainsAudio/Signal, Video/Signal, Elektronik, Circuit Bending, Ethical Hacking (light), and more.
Who can writeTrusted members and above. Regular members can read public articles.
Access levelsArticles can be Public, Members-only, Trusted+, or Veterans-only.
Article typesTutorials, workflow breakdowns, concept explainers, cheat sheets, comparisons.

The Knowledge Base is public — visitors without an account can read public articles. Deeper layers are gated behind membership and reputation tiers to guide learning progressively.

Account & Settings

Profile

Edit your full name, bio, avatar, art forms, and social links. Avatar is stored as WebP (400×400).

Notifications

Choose which events notify you (comments, replies, followers, reactions, task assignments) and how — in-app or email.

Privacy & Security

Set profile visibility (public / members-only / private), control online status display, enable 2FA (TOTP), manage active sessions, and change email or password.

Data Export & Deletion

Download all your personal data as JSON (GDPR Art. 20). Account deletion has a 14-day grace period — you can cancel before it completes.

iCal sync

Sync your tasks and events to any calendar app (Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, etc.) via a personal iCal feed. Go to Settings → Calendar to copy your feed URL or regenerate the token.

Username change

You can change your username in Settings → Security. A real-time availability check runs as you type. There is a 30-day cooldown between changes.

Reputation

Reputation reflects how you contribute to the community — not how long you've been around. Points accumulate based on real engagement and are displayed as a tier badge on your profile, in the artist directory, and on the explore page.

FAQ

Can I see who viewed my posts?

Yes — as the author you can see a stats box on every published post (views, reactions, comments, saves, 30-day sparkline). For a full overview go to /analytics — total views, all your posts ranked, and per-post sparklines. Profile view counts are not shown.

Why can't I publish knowledge articles?

Writing to the Knowledge Base requires the Trusted tier (200+ reputation points) or an admin/moderator role. Keep contributing — reactions, comments, task completions, and brainstorm votes all count.

I accidentally archived a post — how do I restore it?

Go to your Dashboard, open the Archived tab, and click Restore on the post. Archived posts are never permanently deleted unless you choose hard delete.

How do I sync my events and tasks to my calendar app?

Go to Settings → Calendar and copy your personal iCal feed URL. Paste it into Google Calendar (Other calendars → from URL), Apple Calendar (File → New Calendar Subscription), or any app that supports iCal.

What happens when I request account deletion?

Your account is scheduled for deletion with a 14-day grace period. During that time you're signed out and a countdown is shown in Settings. You can cancel any time before the deadline. After 14 days, your account and all content are permanently removed.

Can I change my email address?

Yes — go to Settings → Security → Change Email. A confirmation is sent to your new address before it takes effect.

I was invited as a Guest — what can I do?

Guest accounts have read access only. You can browse public content and profiles, but you cannot post, react, join projects, or use community tools. Contact an admin to upgrade your role.

How does two-factor authentication work?

TOTP-based 2FA is supported. Go to Settings → Security → Two-Factor, scan the QR code with an authenticator app (Aegis, Authy, Google Authenticator), and confirm. You'll be prompted for a code on every login after that.

Need more help?

If your question isn't answered here, reach out to a moderator or admin through the platform's direct messages. You can find them in the artist directory — admin and G0D accounts are pinned to the top.
