Communities

Communities are shared spaces for group discussion. Open Floor from the icon rail, then open Communities.

The Communities page shows your private communities and a Discover section for public communities. Public communities stay in Discover after you join them. Select a community to open its channel list, then select a channel to read and send messages.

Join a community

Select Join with a link to use an invitation from a community owner. Review the community name before you join. An invitation can expire or become unavailable. Ask the owner for a new link when Tradeways cannot open it.

In Discover, select Join on a public community. A joined public community has an Open action in the same section. Select Load more to see additional communities when the list is longer.

Select Create community to start a private community. A Pro plan is required to create one; the creation dialog shows an upgrade option when your plan does not include it.

Community access

Each community controls its channels, roles, moderation, and notification settings. You only see channels that your role can access. A community owner or moderator can remove content or access under that community's rules.

Communities do not change your trading accounts. Do not share private account information in a channel unless you intend other members to see it.

Safety screening

Tradeways screens new and edited community messages, shared trade cards, and attached images before publishing them. Content that does not pass the safety check is not posted. If screening is temporarily unavailable, your draft remains available so you can try again later.

Message attachments must be PNG, JPEG, or WebP images. Each image can be up to 8 MB, with a 16 MB total per message.

Report or block a member

Open the menu on a message or beside a member. Select Report to send a report to the community moderators. Select Also block in the report form when you also want to block the member. A report does not remove or ban a member.

Select Block to block a member without sending a report. You and the blocked member can no longer see each other's messages, online status, or profile. Any mentoring share between you ends. A reply to a hidden message shows Message from a blocked user.

Select Unblock from a community menu, or manage blocked users in Privacy settings. You can block up to 1,000 users.
