Explore is the part of Fluxer.app where people browse and search for communities to join. Any community can apply to be listed there, and listing is free.
How to apply
If you have the "Manage community" permission, open "Community settings" and go to the "Explore" tab. Write a short description of 10 to 300 characters, pick a category and a primary language and add up to 10 tags that people can search for.
A person on our team reviews each application. Verified and partnered communities are listed as soon as they apply, as long as they have enough members. The "Explore" tab shows where your application stands, and if we turn it down, it shows our reason.
What a listed community needs
The app checks two things before it lets you send an application. Your community needs enough members, and the "Explore" tab tells you the minimum if you're below it. Your description also can't contain words or links that we block everywhere on Fluxer.
When we review an application, we look at things like these.
- A name and description that say what the community is about.
- Rules that new members can see, and moderators who enforce them along with our community guidelines.
- Recent conversations, and channels that are in use.
We decide each application case by case, and meeting these doesn't guarantee a listing. Every listed community must also be safe for everyone 13 and up.
Safe for everyone 13 and up
Every community that's listed in Explore, verified or partnered must be suitable for everyone 13 and older. This applies to the whole community, including its name, icon, banner, description, channels, emoji, stickers and the links that it shares.
Sexually explicit or suggestive content and graphic violence aren't allowed anywhere in these communities, including age-restricted channels. LGBTQ+ and other support communities can apply if everything people post there suits teenagers.
A community that's marked age-restricted, is for adults only or is built around adult content can't be listed, verified or partnered. A community can be about a game or film with a mature rating, as long as what people post in it is suitable for everyone 13 and up. These communities also must not ask members for an ID document or a photo of one.
What changes when you're listed
- People can find your community in Explore by its name, description and tags, and filter by category and language.
- If your community isn't verified or partnered, a badge next to its name shows that it's listed in Explore.
- New members who don't have a role need a verified email address to send messages, and you can't set your verification level lower than "Low" while you're listed.
- Images and other media that our explicit content check flags can't be posted outside age-restricted channels, whatever your explicit content filter is set to.
- People who aren't members can see which community your emoji and stickers come from, and they can report your community to us.
Listing in Explore isn't an endorsement from us.
If your listing is removed
We may remove a listing when a community stops meeting these requirements or breaks our community guidelines. We don't send a notification, but the "Explore" tab shows that the listing was removed and why. You can apply again once you've fixed it.
If you think we got it wrong, section 6.2 of our terms explains how to appeal.
