How Spaces work
What are Spaces?
Spaces organise context on circled.social.
They help structure conversations, communities, and updates so that discussions remain understandable and easy to explore.
Instead of everything appearing in a single global feed, Spaces group related circles and topics together.
This makes it easier for members to find relevant communities and follow what matters to them.
What Spaces do
Spaces provide structure for the platform.
A Space can represent:
- Public platform area
- Thematic domain
- Country or region
- Local community context
- Project or organisational environment
Within each Space, multiple Circles can exist.
Each circle hosts a specific community or topic.
Example
A space for National Communities
Inside that space you may find circles such as:
- Nationwide communities
- Nationwide organisations
- Nationwide topics
Another space might represent:
Platform Support
Inside that space members can find circles for:
- Support & Documentation
- Frequently asked questions
- Reports
Global, National, and Local Spaces
Some Spaces are organised geographically.
For example:
🌍 Global
🚩 National
📍 Local
This structure allows communities to organise conversations at different levels.
A global discussion can exist alongside national or local circles.
Who creates Spaces?
Spaces are created and maintained by platform stewards or moderators to ensure the platform remains organised and understandable.
This helps avoid fragmentation and keeps related circles connected in meaningful ways.
What if a Space is missing?
If you believe a Space should exist for:
- a country
- a region
- a topic
- a community context
