Community
Clanning
Clanning at Beacon is quite small but is slowly growing, The largest clan currently known is Taiyang.
Hard levels
Hard and difficult levels started appearing around 2022 and a community was formed for it.
Memes
Beacon is known to have plenty of meme levels which was at the peak during the private beta phase, It is often memed with Nerdyant64's character.
Reuploading
There are many people who reuploads levels from LittleBigArchive and even directly from the original servers still running at LittleBigPlanet 3 on the PS4. However the consequence for it would be that it would be more filled with reuploaded levels than actual original levels.
Moderation
Beacon is moderated by the LBP Union's Starguard team which most members of the team have moderator permissions. Some Starguards have admin permission because of their role at the USC.
