Membership roles

Membership roles help us foster a more comfortable and enjoyable space to connect in. They give us progressively more possibilities for connection as we participate. For example, when you make your first post, you will be granted access to a private a room which is only visible to people who have recently posted.

Visitor

Visitors are those who just joined our community. Visitors are also those who were recently Inactive.

Visitors can...

Post (and react) in most rooms

Visitors who haven't posted or reacted in 7 days are transitioned to the Inactive role.

Guest

Once you create your first post, you will become our Guest.

In addition to what Visitors can do, Guests can...

Post in #connect, a room just for Guests and Members
Share pictures and links
Create threads and polls
Use custom stickers and emojis

Guests who haven't posted or reacted in 14 days are transitioned to the Inactive role.

If you post on at least 4 different days* in the last 60 days, you will become a Member of our community.

In addition to what Guests can do, Members can...
