A den is a desk, not a group chat.
Create or join a focused community: channels, members, mods, invite codes, and settings. Browse featured, trending, mine, and all — with search by name, tagline, or tag. Members land on the default channel, not a wall of unthreaded pings.
Browse, join, then work inside a channel.
The den is the container. The channel is where the desk actually talks.
Featured, trending, mine, all. Search before you join.
Invite code or /social/dens/new with a slug.
Members redirect to c/[channel] — not a dump.
Roster, den-level mods, invite codes, admin.
What a den actually contains.
Browse
Featured, trending, mine, all. Search by name, tagline, or tag before you join.
Create
Stand up a den with a slug at /social/dens/new — not a random invite soup.
Channels
c/[channel] inside the den. Members redirect to the default lane.
Members
Roster and management UI at /social/dens/[slug]/members — who is in the room is visible.
Moderation
Den-level mod tools at /social/dens/[slug]/mod. Platform reports also land in admin social.
Invites & settings
Invite codes via /social/dens/invite/[code]. Den admin settings on the slug.
Who owns what inside a den.
Platform reports still reach admin social. A den does not become an unmoderated island.
| Seat | Can do | Cannot do |
|---|---|---|
| Member | Read default channel, post where allowed, leave | Rewrite slug, kick the owner, hide reports |
| Moderator | Channel order, member tools, den-level mod UI | Delete the den, rewrite payout rails |
| Den admin | Invites, settings, slug-level admin | Override platform-wide social policy |
| Platform staff | Feature / unfeature, act on reports | Silently steal a den’s book |
