## What it is

### A paid community where access follows the subscription.

Spaces open to people who match a filter, such as an active membership. When the subscription ends, the space locks again.

A space as members see it.

- 01**Spaces.** As many as you need, grouped into sections.
- 02**Access.** Separate rules for view, like, comment and publish.
- 03**Badges.** Awarded at thresholds you set.
- 04**Moderation.** Reports, hidden posts and member restrictions.

**Good to know:** One community per account. There is no discovery feed, so you bring your own audience.
