Community Settings

Community Settings is where an owner or moderator updates a community’s look and basic info after it’s created. This is a web feature today — the Android and iOS apps let you view a community’s rules and moderators, but not edit them yet.

Opening Community Settings (web)

1. Open the community and tap the ⋯ (more options) button next to the Join/Joined button.

2. Tap Settings.

If you’re not the owner or a moderator, you’ll see “You must be a moderator to edit this community.” instead of the settings form.

What you can edit

• Community Banner — tap to upload a new one. Nuts recommends 1500×500px or wider.
• Community Logo — tap to upload a new one. A square image, at least 200×200px, works best.
• Community Name and Description — up to 60 and 500 characters.
• Website — an optional link.
• Private Community — turn on to require approval for new members and hide the community from public browsing.
• NSFW Community — turn on to mark the community’s content as mature.
• Community Rules — see below.

Editing rules

Under Community Rules, tap Add rule to add a new one — up to 10. Each rule is its own numbered line: type directly into it to edit, or tap the trash icon to remove it.

Saving

Tap Save Changes at the bottom. It briefly shows Saved! with a checkmark once your changes go through, or an error message if something went wrong.

How a community is moderated — Autopilot or Manual — is set once, at creation, and can’t be changed from Settings afterward. See Moderators & Rules for adding and removing individual moderators, which you can still do anytime.

On mobile

Editing a community’s banner, logo, name, description, website, or rules isn’t available in the app yet — use nuts.social for any of these. On mobile, anyone can still see a read-only summary of a community’s rules and its moderator list by opening the community and tapping Info (About on the web).
