Activate your subscription — the right way
Match how you pay to how you signed up. This is the #1 thing people get wrong.
linksby.me has two separate billing paths, and they must match how you created your account:
- Signed up with "Sign in with Fanvue"? → Subscribe through the Fanvue App Store. Billing is handled by Fanvue.
- Created a direct account (email + password)? → Subscribe with Stripe right here on the site.
⚠ Don't cross the streams
A Fanvue purchase only unlocks a Fanvue-linked account, and a Stripe purchase only unlocks a direct account. If you made a direct account but paid on Fanvue (or the reverse), your payment can't be matched and you won't get access. If this happened, just sign in with Fanvue to link your Fanvue account, or contact support and we'll sort it out.

Add your links
Everything lives inside a profile — you'll make one first, then add links to it.
Log in→
Dashboard→
+ New Profile→
Links
- Log in — you'll land on your Dashboard.
- If you don't have a profile yet, click "+ New Profile" and choose a username. That becomes your public address (e.g. linksby.me/yourname). You can create up to 5 profiles.
- Back on the Dashboard, each profile has a row of buttons — Links, Theme, Edit, View. Click Links on the profile you want to work on.
- On the Links page, use the Add Link form at the top: choose the platform, paste your URL, add an optional label, then click Add Link. Repeat for each link.
- Supported platforms include Fanvue, OnlyFans, Fansly, Stacked, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, Facebook, Threads, Telegram and more.
- You can add up to 2 links per platform per profile.
- Destination URLs are never written into your public page's HTML — they're revealed only on click, so scrapers can't harvest them.

Turn on the Adults-Only Browser Wall Recommended
It's on the same Links page you just used.
Dashboard→
your profile: Links→
In-App Browser Behavior
This is your strongest privacy protection. When a fan opens your page from inside Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, or Snapchat's built-in browser, they see a quick 18+ notice asking them to reopen the page in their real browser. Your links never load inside the host app at all — so those platforms can't see where your traffic goes.
- Open your profile's Links page (Dashboard → your profile → Links).
- Scroll below your list of links to the In-App Browser Behavior card.
- Select "Adults-only browser wall", then click Save Settings.
New profiles have this on by default — so this step is often just confirming it's already set.
✓ Why it's the best option
It works reliably on every iPhone and completely hides your destinations from in-app browsers — a stronger guarantee than the older deeplink method.

Deeplinks Legacy
There are two separate deeplink controls in different places. We recommend leaving both off.
⚠ Recommended: leave both deeplink settings OFF
Deeplinks were our original privacy method, but they can misbehave — especially on iPhones using Safari without Chrome installed, where a link can open a Google search instead of the page. The Adults-Only Browser Wall (Step 3) does the same job more reliably and hides more, so it's the recommended path. Only touch these if you have a specific reason.
That said, here's exactly where each one lives and what it does differently:
A) Link deeplinks Legacy
Dashboard→
your profile: Links→
In-App Browser Behavior→
"Auto-open in real browser"
The middle option of the same three-way setting from Step 3. When a fan taps a link, it tries to auto-bounce that link to their real browser. The profile page itself still loads inside the app first.
B) Landing-page deeplink Legacy
Dashboard→
your profile: Edit→
"Deeplink the landing page too"
A separate checkbox on the profile Edit page (click Edit on your profile's row in the Dashboard). This one tries to bounce your entire profile page out to the real browser the instant it's opened in an in-app browser — before any links are even shown.
| Setting | Where to find it | What it affects |
|---|
| Link deeplinks | Links page → In-App Browser Behavior → "Auto-open in real browser" | What happens when a fan taps a link |
| Landing-page deeplink | Profile Edit page → "Deeplink the landing page too" checkbox | What happens when your whole page is opened |
✓ The simple rule
Turn on the Adults-Only Browser Wall (Step 3) and leave both deeplink settings off. The wall already blocks the whole page and your links inside in-app browsers — so it covers everything both deeplink options were meant to do, without their downsides.

Customize your profile
Open the Theme page for the profile you want to style.
Dashboard→
your profile: Theme
- From your Dashboard, click the Theme button on the profile's row. (It's also in the top-right of the Links page.)
- Adjust colors, wallpaper, header style, buttons, fonts, avatar and bio — the live preview on the right updates as you change things.
- Click Save when you're happy.
What you can control:
- Colors & wallpaper — solid, gradient, blur, pattern, or a full background image.
- Header style — classic, banner, hero, or shaped avatar.
- Buttons — rounded, pill, or square, with your own colors.
- Fonts & text — pick a typeface and title color that fit your brand.

View your analytics
Analytics open from the top of your profile's Links page.
Dashboard→
your profile: Links→
Analytics
- Open your profile's Links page (Dashboard → your profile → Links).
- Click Analytics in the top-right of that page.
- Use the 7 / 14 / 30 days buttons at the top to change the time window.
General overview: total visits and a traffic-source breakdown (Instagram, TikTok, X, Reddit, and more) over your chosen window.
Go deeper: a day-by-day table showing each day's visits split by source, plus per-link click performance (recent vs. lifetime).
ℹ A note on accuracy
Analytics are approximate — we merge repeat visits from the same viewer within a short window and estimate each visit's source, so figures can read slightly below raw click totals. Treat them as directional, not exact.
