How posting works
A quick walkthrough of posting a listing and what happens after you submit.
Choose a listing type
Housing, a marketplace item, or a community event.
Tell us what the post is
We ask whether you're a community member sharing a personal listing, or a landlord/business. This sets whether it's free or moderated/paid.
Add details and photos
Title, description, hub/area, price, and up to 8 photos.
Acknowledge safety notices
Fair Housing for housing, prohibited-items for the marketplace, and an unofficial-event notice for events.
Preview and submit
See exactly how your listing will look, then submit.
Publish or review
Verified community members' low-risk personal listings publish immediately. Housing offers, commercial, and unverified posts go to admin review first.
Free for verified community members
Community posting for researchers, fellows, students, and government/academic community members. Verified community members may publish eligible low-risk posts faster; commercial, spammy, or high-risk posts may be limited or reviewed, and some posts are reviewed before appearing publicly.
Moderation keeps it trusted
Housing and commercial listings, and posts from unverified accounts, are reviewed by an admin before they go public. Every listing can be reported, and contact details stay private by default. See how moderation works, our trust & safety guide, and how to write a good listing.
