Paragraph

Question about mixing membership and token gating. When I add a token gate, it will only let me add a free membership gate. Why can't I gate with token OR paid membership? When I try this, the paid memberships are grey and can't be clicked.

This is just a limitation of the current gating system we have. We decided to keep it simple and wait to see if there was enough demand for mixing both before spending time on implementing this feature. I think you might be the first person to request this!

Software engineer at paragraph. I like backpacking.

I would expect to see more of this as the user base grows. It'd be great to be able to gate something based on a hypersub OR another NFT. Like, you can read this if you're a paid subscriber via Paragraph, OR you hold an Onchain Gaias, OR you hold a Pay Stub.

And I just discovered that I can't gift a Paragraph subscription @fred-paragraph. I can add them as a subscriber, but that's just the free membership.

If I want to reward my alfafrens with access, or via a raffle, I could add them to a hypersub... but then my content has to go to members OR token-holders, not both.

Due to these limitations, I think I'll just have to monitor Paragraph members, and then add them manually to hypersub, remove them from hypersub manually if they drop Paragraph membership, and use token-gating exclusively on my posts, which is a huge bummer. It's going to create a lot of overhead for me.

Right now, it limits both the author's ability to engage people, and subscriber ability to connect via different holdings. I want to provide the easy onboarding that Paragraph's membership provides while also being able to mix that with tokens that people may already hold, which increases their utility and value.
