Joining & Discovering Communities

Every community on Nuts lives in one directory. You don’t have to join a community to browse its feed — only to post, chat, or get notified in it.

Browsing the directory

  1. Open the app’s center menu and tap My Rooms.

  2. Use the tabs across the top to switch views: All, Trending, Official (Nuts-verified communities, marked with a shield badge), and Joined (communities you’re already in).

  3. Tap the search field and type to filter by name.

Each community card shows its logo, name, a short description if it has one, and its member count. A lock icon next to the name means it’s private.

Joining a community

Tap Join on any community card, or open the community and tap Join there.

For a public community, you’re in immediately — the button switches to Joined, no approval needed. For a private community, an owner or moderator needs to approve you first.

Leaving a community

Open the community, tap the menu, and tap Leave. You’ll stop seeing its posts in your feed, along with its chat and notifications — you can rejoin anytime.

What you can see before joining

A community’s feed is open to browse whether or not you’re a member. Joining is what unlocks posting, chatting, getting notified about new activity, and — for communities you follow — having its posts show up in your main feed. Live chat entry points only appear once you’ve joined (see Community Chat).

On the web

  • The Rooms directory is one click away in the sidebar (Rooms), rather than through the app’s center menu.
  • Leaving asks you to confirm first: “Leave community name? You’ll stop seeing its posts in your feed and can rejoin anytime.” The app leaves immediately, without asking.
  • The Trending tab also shows a Join/Leave button on each row on the web. In the app, Trending rows are for browsing only — tap through to the community page to join from there.
