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

you can request it through the Public Support & Questions circle.

New spaces may be created when they help improve the structure of the platform.

Spaces and Circles

Spaces organise the platform.

Circles host the communities.

Think of it like this:

Space → provides context

Circle → hosts people and conversations
