Join and use Tribes

How to

1. Open Tribes from the avatar menu, or find one in Explore.
2. In Discover, search for the topic and open the community. Read About, including its description and rules.
3. Use Join for open joining or Request to join when approval is required. For Invite only, wait for an administration invitation.
4. Once membership is active, use Post to create a Tribe post. Review the destination before publishing.
5. Find communities in My tribes. To leave, open the Tribe, use the membership menu and confirm Leave.

Visibility and joining are different settings

• Public allows finding and reading the community under its access controls. Unlisted does not appear in general discovery; a link does not make a Tribe private. Private restricts content to authorized members.
• Open joining activates membership directly. Approval required keeps a request pending until administration decides. Invite only requires an invitation; search or a link does not replace it.
• Profile and Tribe privacy are separate controls. Do not publish participants’ personal data or move a private conversation elsewhere without permission.
• Joining does not require Gold. Community rules apply to owners, administrators and moderators too. Leaving does not automatically erase your previous posts.

If you cannot join or post

• Pending request: wait for administration; repeated requests do not speed approval. Invite-only Tribe: ask its administrators for an invitation.
• Empty private feed: check that membership is active and you are using the correct account. A link received before approval does not unlock content.
• Post in the wrong place: check the composer destination. Use your post’s controls to correct or remove it as offered.
• Abusive content: use Report on the post or Tribe menu and submit the reason. Local administration and platform moderation have different roles; reporting does not guarantee immediate removal.
