Community admin

Create a Community Group

In LifeLoveMe, a community can be one person, a family, cousins, friends, classmates, an association, a professional group, a shared interest group, or a temporary event. A page can start small and grow over time.

Start simple: Fill the mandatory fields, generate a draft, then run the local script on your Mac to create folders and files.

1. What is a community page?

A LifeLoveMe community page is a simple digital home. A community can mean any person, family, group, association, event, memory collection, or shared interest. It can be one person, cousins, friends, classmates, an association, a professional group, or a temporary event.

You can create a page just for yourself. The individual is the smallest unit of community.

File guidance: start with 5 files for your first test. A good beginner range is 5 to 25 files. Beginner maximum is 50 files. For larger collections, add files later in batches. This keeps review, captions, duration setting, and Excel editing easy.

2. Mandatory information
  • Group name — full display name.
  • Group ID / short name — lowercase slug for folders and URLs.
  • Group type — alumni, spiritual, family, etc.
  • One-line tagline — appears under the title.
  • Short description — who the group is and what the page is for.
  • Admin name — who maintains the page.
  • Admin contact method — for LifeLoveMe admin (not necessarily public).
  • Visibility — public, private, or invite-only.

4. Privacy checklist
  • Do not publish private phone, email, DOB, or spouse details without approval.

  • Only harmless, admin-approved information should be displayed.
  • Political/social noise should not be published by default.
  • Sensitive personal information should not be uploaded.
5. Folder guide

File names can be anything. The folder decides the category.

For memory reels, use the staging folder ~/Downloads/LifeLoveMe_Imports/<group-id>/… and run Import / Update Memory above — do not drop files in the project root.
