Communities

Understanding how Communities work in Our Intentions

What are Communities?

Communities are public groups where members can collaborate and share intentions together. Unlike Private Circles, Communities are visible to all members, and everyone knows they’re part of the community. Members can suggest posts that, once approved by the community manager, are shared with all members.

Key Features

Explicit Membership

  • People must be explicitly invited to join a community
  • You cannot simply move someone from your audience to a community
  • Members must give explicit confirmation to join
  • Everyone can see who else is in the community

Collaborative Content

  • Any member can suggest a post (intention) to the community
  • Suggested posts appear as “Post Requests” for the manager
  • The manager reviews and decides to accept or decline each request
  • Accepted posts are distributed to all community members

Community Management

  • As a community creator, you become the manager
  • You moderate content by reviewing post requests
  • You can invite new members and manage existing ones

How Communities Work

For Managers:

  1. Create a Community: Tap “Create” and choose “Community”
  2. Invite Members: Share invite links - recipients must accept
  3. Review Post Requests: Check incoming post suggestions
  4. Accept or Decline: Approved posts go to all members

For Members:

  1. Accept Invitation: Join by accepting a community invite
  2. View Content: See posts shared within the community
  3. Suggest Posts: Submit your own intentions for review
  4. React and Engage: Support other members’ intentions

Post Request Flow

  1. A member creates a post and submits it to the community
  2. The post appears in the manager’s “Requests” tab
  3. The manager reviews the content
  4. If accepted: The post is published to all community members
  5. If declined: The post is not shared (author is notified)

Best Practices

  • Use Communities for groups where collaboration is desired
  • Set clear guidelines for what content is appropriate
  • Review post requests regularly to keep content flowing
  • Use Private Circles when you want control over who sees what
