Socials
The row of social icons below your profile. Visitors click these to find you on other platforms. Add the ones that matter to your audience and skip the rest. A focused set of five or six icons looks better than a wall of twenty.
Adding Social Links
Section titled “Adding Social Links”Click + Add social link to open the platform picker. Select a platform to add it. Each platform can only be added once.
Supported Platforms
Section titled “Supported Platforms”Beacon supports 25 platforms. Most only need your username. A few (marked below) need a full URL.
| Platform | What to Enter |
|---|---|
| username | |
| Bluesky | username |

| your email address | |
| Substack | full URL |
| Discord | full invite URL |
| Spotify | full profile URL |
| Mastodon | full profile URL |

| Website | full URL |
For username-based platforms, Beacon adds the URL prefix automatically (like https://instagram.com/). You just type the handle.
Reordering
Section titled “Reordering”Drag the handle on the left side of each row to reorder. The display order on your page matches the order in the wizard, left to right. Put your most important platforms first.
Keyboard shortcut: Tab to a drag handle and press the up or down arrow to move that row. The handle re-focuses on the moved row so you can keep nudging.
Removing
Section titled “Removing”Click the trash icon on any social link to remove it. The row turns into an inline confirmation: Remove this link? with Remove and Keep buttons. Default focus is on Keep, so pressing Enter accidentally won’t delete anything. Pressing Escape also cancels.
Removed platforms become available in the picker again.
