How the board works and what belongs here.

Use this page when you need the structure behind the board: which page to post from, how contact reveal works, and the kinds of requests or lending offers that fit best.

How it works

The board is designed for immediate use, not for private gatekeeping.

  1. 01

    Choose the dedicated page

    Service projects, item requests, and lending offers each have their own page so posting stays focused and easier to scan.

  2. 02

    Reply in public or reveal contact on demand

    Neighbors can respond on the thread immediately, or reveal a contact method only when they intentionally need it.

  3. 03

    Stay anonymous or create an account

    Anonymous participation stays open, while optional accounts add an identity anchor for repeat contributors.

What belongs here
