A Spotcard is a card for one specific place or spot. It could be a cafe, viewpoint, store, studio, beach, restaurant, or any other place you want to share.

A Spotcard can include a photo, description, and location context. It helps other users quickly understand what the place is and why it may be worth discovering.

You can create a Spotcard in the app by selecting or adding a place and filling in the available details. This may include photos, a title, description, location information, and additional context.

Before posting, check that the information is accurate and that you have the rights to share any photos or text you add. Do not publish private, sensitive, or unsafe location information, such as someone's home address or live location.

A Travelcard is a card for a trip, route, or connected travel experience. Instead of showing only one spot, it brings multiple places or stops together into one larger idea.

Travelcards can be useful for city guides, day routes, weekend trips, or personal recommendations around a specific travel experience.

You can create a Travelcard in the app by grouping multiple places or stops into one connected travel idea. Depending on the available fields, you can add a title, description, photos, stops, and other useful details.

Keep your Travelcard clear and helpful: what is the idea, which places belong to it, and what should others know before they go? As with Spotcards, avoid sharing sensitive location details or content you do not have permission to post.

Published Spotcards and Travelcards can be visible to other users, including in feeds, profiles, search, or discovery areas. Private profiles and private post visibility controls are not part of the launch version.

lash may rank, filter, or recommend content based on signals such as relevance, recency, location context, quality, and safety. We do not guarantee that a post will appear in a specific position or remain available indefinitely.

Discovery helps you find relevant profiles, places, Spotcards, and Travelcards. Different signals may play a role, such as search terms, recency, location context, creator information, interactions, availability, quality, and safety.

lash does not guarantee that specific content will always appear or receive a certain amount of reach. Discovery is meant to help users find relevant content while also supporting safety and platform quality.

There can be several reasons something does not appear. A place, spot, or user may have been removed, limited, misspelled, not yet indexed, or made less visible because of safety or moderation signals.

If you blocked someone, or if someone blocked you, you are no longer visible to each other in lash. You can also try checking the spelling, using different search terms, or searching again later.

If you see content, behavior, or a profile that seems problematic, use the available report or block options in the app. Reports help lash review content and behavior.

When you block someone, you are no longer visible to each other in lash. Use blocking when you do not want contact or interaction with a person.

When you report something, lash may review the reported content, account, and related signals. This may include automated safety systems, internal rules, user reports, and additional review steps where needed.

Depending on the result, content may stay visible, be limited, be removed, or not be published. Accounts may also be warned, limited, deactivated, or suspended when there is a violation or safety risk.

We do not promise a fixed review time. If you believe a moderation or account decision was wrong, use the Contact page or email us at contact@longasssectionhike.com with enough information for us to review the case.
