Communities

What are communities?

A community is a shared place for many people, for example a club, an event or a degree program.

You’ll find your communities in the Chats tab under Communities.

What’s in a community

• A chat for everyone in the community.
• Groups for a topic, a course or a team. Some are open, some need a password.
• People: who’s in the community and wants to be visible under “People”.
• Announcements from the admins, pinned at the top.

How to get in

Communities can’t be searched. You join with an 8-character code, a link or an invitation. See Join a community.

Good to know

• Encryption: community chats are encrypted in transit and on the server, but not end-to-end.
• Your profile: when you join, you choose which of your profiles members see.
• Pictures: new members can only share photos after 7 days.
• 18+: communities marked 18+ are only for accounts with a confirmed age of 18 or older. If you’re 16 or 17, you’re invisible under “People” at first.
• Notifications: Nodbase currently doesn’t send notifications for community posts.
