OwnMates Feature
Join a Community
Find a community that matches your interests and join it. On OwnMates, a community is called a Page.
A community is a place for people who like the same thing, like travel, books, music or cooking. OwnMates calls it a Page. Each Page has a name, a category, a description and a list of members, and members can post inside it.
Join from the website
- Open the All Pages list. The See all pages link in the Communities area takes you there.
- Find a Page you like. Each one shows its name and how many participants it has.
- Click JOIN PAGE. OwnMates shows “Page joined successfully.”
What the buttons mean
- JOIN PAGE: you aren’t a member yet. Click it to join.
- REQUEST PENDING: your request is sent and the Page owner still has to accept it.
- JOINED: you’re a member.
Page owners choose how people join: by simply joining, or by sending a request. If the owner asks for requests, you’ll see Request Pending until they accept you.
If you own the Page
- Open Page Request. Each request shows the member’s name and your Page.
- Click Accept to let them in. OwnMates shows “Member approved successfully.”
- Click Cancel if you’d rather not.
In the app
Open My Pages to see the Pages you made or joined. Tap Other Pages to look at more.
Quick answers
