Creating a Community

A community (called a “Room” throughout the creation flow) is its own space on Nuts with a feed, a chat, and its own rules. Anyone can create one.

  1. From your main feed, tap the compose button and choose Create Community. You can also tap the Create tile in the communities row on your Following feed.

  2. Let’s Bring it to Life — type a name, 3 to 21 characters, using letters, numbers, spaces, and underscores. Nuts checks availability as you type and tells you if it’s already taken. If you’re using a brand name, make sure you’re affiliated with it.

  3. Look & Feel — tap to add a banner image and a logo. Both are optional here — you can leave them blank and add them later.

  4. About & Rules — write a short description (up to 500 characters) and, if you have one, a website link starting with https://. Under Room rules, tap Add rule, give it a title and an optional description, then Save rule. Rules you’ve added show as a count you can tap to review.

  5. Settings — turn on Private Room to hide the community from public feeds and require approval to join, or leave it public. Turn on NSFW Room if its content is for mature audiences.

  6. Moderation — this step explains how the community will be moderated: Autopilot, where moderators are assigned automatically as the community grows, or Manual, where you hand-pick your own moderator team. See Moderators & Rules for what each means day to day.

  7. Ready for Takeoff — review your name, images, description, rules, and settings, then tap Launch Room.

Nuts creates the community, adds you as its owner, and takes you straight there with a prompt to make your first post.

On the web

The web wizard covers the same ground with a few real differences:

  • As you type a name, a live link preview appears under the field (n/yourname), with a checkmark once it’s available or a note if it’s taken.
  • Visibility is a genuine choice here: Public (anyone can join) or Private (invite only). A Private community can also be Free or Paid — paid access is marked “Soon,” so you can set a price now, but Nuts isn’t charging members yet.
  • NSFW is its own separate toggle from visibility.
  • The Moderation step is a real, saved choice on web: pick Autopilot — you moderate solo until 50 members, then Nuts automatically promotes your most-reputable members to moderator, scaling the team up as the community grows (roughly 3 moderators by 200 members, 5 by 500, 7 beyond) — or Manual, where you hand-pick every moderator yourself.
  • The final button reads Create Community, and it takes you straight to your new community’s page — there’s no separate “created” celebration screen like the app’s.

A note on the app today: the Private Room and Moderation steps are part of the mobile wizard, but new communities created from the app are currently created as public and Autopilot-moderated, regardless of what you choose there. If you need a private or Manually-moderated community from the start, create it from nuts.social — either way, you can add moderators to any community after the fact (see Moderators & Rules), and you can make a community private later from Community Settings on the web.
