What is the difference between a category and a space?

Omar Haddad Omar Haddad 3 months ago Resolved

Just getting started and I want to get the mental model right. A category seems to be a grouping, and a space is where the actual posts live — is that correct?

When should I create a new category versus just another space?

This matches my experience exactly. The hard part is staying consistent once the initial novelty wears off.

For what it is worth, the same approach works with the PMPro adapter — the membership side is identical from here.

Adding a small note: the same idea applies on mobile, just with a bit more attention to tap targets.
