Yards get the tools to run them
Moderation, join requests, a notice and announcements, events with reminders, yard pictures, handing over, and better ways to find a yard.
A yard is only as good as the people who run it, so today they get proper tools. Everything below is in Manage yard: open your yard, tap its name at the top.
Keeping it kind
Owners, admins and mods can take down a post from the yard, and put it back if it was a mistake.
Who gets in
A yard can be open to anyone with the link, need admin approval, or take nobody new for now. When someone asks to join, admins get a notification; when they are let in, so do they.
A voice for the yard
- The notice sits at the top of the yard.
- Announce to the yard sends one post to every member, once a day.
Events
Admins can add an event with what, where and when. Members say they’re coming and get a reminder an hour before.
The yard itself
- A picture for the yard.
- Hand the yard to someone else, or archive it and bring it back later.
- For a new yard’s first week, a starter card with three things to get it going.
- Members can see who else is in their yard.
Finding a yard
Search now finds yards members made, not just official ones. Open yards are ordered by how lively they are, can be narrowed to School, Faith or General, and yards that need approval show Ask to join. And a yard’s link now shows a proper preview when you share it on WhatsApp and elsewhere.
Posts stay where they’re made
A post made in a yard is seen by that yard only, and the composer says so before you post.
