Explore is the part of fluxer.com 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.
Before you can send an application, the app checks that your community has enough members and that your description has no links that our team has blocked on fluxer.com. If your community has too few members, the "Explore" tab shows the minimum.
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
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.
- Moderators who enforce the rules and 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 their age-restricted channels.
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.
- People can also filter Explore by category and language.
- If your community isn't verified or partnered, a badge shows it's 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 also report your community to our team.
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. When we do, the "Explore" tab shows that it was removed and why. We don't send a notification, and you can apply again after you fix the problem.
If you think we got it wrong, you can appeal the decision.
