Communities
Groups with channels, roles and invite links, and how their privacy differs from direct messages.
A community is a group with its own channels, members and rules. Use it for a project, a club, a customer base or anything else where more than a handful of people need to talk.
What you can do
- Create channels for different topics, including announcement channels where only some members can post.
- Give members a role: owner, administrator, moderator or member. Each role has its own permissions.
- Invite people with links that you can revoke at any time. Invite links are signed by our server, so they cannot be forged.
- Post updates, run polls, share voice notes and start a group call.
- Report a post to the moderators.
Privacy in communities
Community posts are not encrypted end to end yet
Posts and channel messages in communities are stored on our server and can be read by us. Do not share anything in a community that you would not want a server operator to see. Use a direct message instead.
Our server also stores the list of members, their roles and the channels they belong to. This is what lets a community work the same way on every device.
When community posts become encrypted end to end, this page will say so and the change will be listed in the changelog.
