Community Events are a feature available to users who join a community. Here’s how they work, who can create them, and how you can get involved:
Where to Find Community Events
- Once you’ve joined a community, head to the Events tab.
- You’ll find two sections:
- Upcoming Events: Activities scheduled to happen in the future.
- Past Events: A record of events that have already taken place.
Who Can Create Events?
- Only Community Ambassadors can create and manage events within a community.
- Other users cannot directly create events but can suggest one by navigating to the Events tab, tapping the Create New Event button, and submitting their idea in the pop-up dialog.
Types of Events
- Events can be held online (e.g., virtual meet-up via live-chat) or in person (e.g., local gatherings).
- The format depends on the ambassador and the community’s preferences.
How to Get Involved
- Encourage Event Creation: If you’d like to see more events, reach out to your community ambassador and express your interest.
- Apply to Be an Ambassador: If your community needs more activity, consider applying to become an ambassador to organize events and keep things lively. To apply, go to the community page you’re interested in. If that community needs an ambassador, you’ll see a dialog box inviting you to apply. Just tap the button and follow the steps, and our team will get back to you once your application has been processed. If you don’t see a dialog, there’s no active need for an ambassador in that community, but feel free to check other communities!
