Introduction
As you arrive on this platform we invite you to:
Watch the help videos in our welcome space
Chose the spaces you want to join
If you need help then ask the Space host of the space you're in
If you would like a new space ask here
Spaces
In Humhub posts are organised into 'spaces' these are communities that organise around a particular group or theme.
Everyone who joins is added to the Welcome space and the Community garden space.
The other spaces can be found here https://hub.transition-space.org/spaces?sort=older
Request a space
If you would like a new space then just ask here
Space hosts
Permissions:
Space hosts can configure many of the permissions for their spaces.
They can access these by accessing https://hub.transition-space.org/s/**YOUR-SPACE-NAME/space/manage/security/permissions
You access this by clicking on the grey settings wheel in your space and clicking on 'security'
You will then see the settings that can be changed
You can change any of these settings to your preference. If you would like advice about the implications of these settings then please ask in the space-hosts Mattermost channel
Notifications
By default, users will have any posts in spaces they are members of added to their daily digest email.
If you want to do a specific notification (a separate email from the daily digest) then you could 'notify all' in the post. This will create a separate email just for that post. It will also create a push notification/popup to users that have enabled that in their browser or mobile device.
Archive
Space hosts are able to 'Archive' spaces
When spaces are archived:
- All content is hidden to non-admins. It is no longer searchable (even by members of that space)
- Admins can 'un-archive' it at a later date and make it visible/ searchable by members.
- The content remains accessible to admins even when in an archived state.
