Community Types

Selecting the right type is essential for aligning your community’s structure with its purpose. Each type serves a specific function, helping you create a better experience for your members. Here are some common use cases:

Community: Best for groups with shared interests, like hobbyists or fan clubs

Project: Ideal for managing a specific initiative, like product development or creative collaborations

Game: Suited for gaming communities—whether for players, or fans of a particular game

Faction: Useful for sub-groups within larger communities, like teams or specialized interests

Chapter: Great for regional branches or localized groups connected to a larger organization

Guild: Commonly used for gaming teams where members share skills or goals

​

Member Access Levels

The member access level settings determine how members can join and interact with your community. Choose the level that best suits the structure and access needs of your community:

Open

In an Open community, any member can join and automatically be added without requiring approval. This is ideal for communities that want to encourage broad participation and open access.

Requires Approval

In a community that Requires Approval, members can request to join, but they must be approved by an admin before gaining access. There are two approval options available:

Restricted

In a Restricted community, members can only join if an admin either manually adds them or sets up a Gate to control access based on specific criteria, such as owning an NFT from a specific collection.

These access levels give you the flexibility to manage how members join and participate, ensuring your community operates according to your preferences.
