Pages

A page is an account for something that is not a person: a business, an organisation, a publication, a brand. It lives at easybie.com/@itsname like any account, can be followed, mentioned, reacted to and replied to, and posts into the same feeds.

Make one from Settings → Your pages.

Nobody signs in to a page Copy a link to this section

A page has no password and no email address of its own. There is no way to sign in as one, and nothing to steal.

Instead, people run it from their own accounts. You post as the page from your own composer, and the page's own screen is where you manage it.

You can create up to ten pages.

Making one Copy a link to this section

• Name — 2 to 60 characters
• Address — 3 to 30 letters, numbers or underscores, and it must be free
• What is it? — Business, Organisation, Publication, Brand, or Something else
• Bio — up to 300 characters

The category is what the page says it is. It is not a verified claim; that is a badge, and only a moderator grants one.

Posting as a page Copy a link to this section

Once you run a page, the composer grows a Posting as row: You first, then each page. The avatar changes so you can see who is about to speak.

It always starts on You. A composer that remembered yesterday's choice is how an organisation publishes somebody's lunch.

You cannot choose a page when replying — the composer offers the choice on new posts only. The one exception is not yours to make: an update to an event hosted by a page is a reply, and it carries the page, because the event does.

This is not the same as holding several accounts. Pages never appear in the account switcher, because you never sign in as one.

Owners and editors Copy a link to this section

A page can be run by up to twenty people, in two roles.

Editors can:

• post as the page
• change its name, category and bio
• change its picture and cover
• read what people did, and mark it read
• block and unblock people on the page's behalf

Owners can do all of that, and also:

• change the page's address
• change what the page allows
• add and remove people, and change their role
• close the page

A page must always have an owner, so the last one cannot leave. To hand a page over: make the other person an owner, then remove yourself.

What people did Copy a link to this section

A page cannot sign in, so it cannot open a notifications screen. Its notifications appear on the page's own management screen instead — mentions, replies, reactions, reposts and follows — with a Mark as read button.

What the page allows Copy a link to this section

Owners can set, and each saves the moment you touch it:

• New posts start as — Everyone, Followers, or Only us
• Who can reply and Who can mention it — Everyone or Nobody
• People can pass its posts along
• The page can be found — by name in search here and on search engines. Its address keeps working either way

Who can reply has no "people I follow" option, which personal accounts do have. A page follows nobody, so that setting would quietly mean nobody.

What a page cannot do Copy a link to this section

• Send or receive messages, in either direction
• Follow anybody — it can be followed, but not the reverse
• Be tagged in a post, or invited to an event
• Create or help run another page

A page can host an event, and can block people.

Closing a page Copy a link to this section

Type its address to confirm. Its posts go and the address stops working.

The address stays yours. Nobody else can ever take it. The slot it used is freed, so you can make another page.
