Communities are shared spaces inside Onyx.
They are built for groups that need Onyx identity, useful communication, and account-based communication.
What They Do
A community can bring members, channels, events, support, and updates into one organized space.
The value is structure. People know where to talk, who belongs, and what the space is for.
Why They Matter
Most online communities are noisy.
Onyx communities are designed to be more intentional. Identity, permissions, and membership can help keep the space useful. The product can connect communication to the account instead of treating it like a public feed.
Common Uses
Communities are useful for:
- Member communication.
- Product support.
- Events.
- Partner groups.
- Creator and member spaces.
- Updates tied to Onyx ID.
Membership
Membership stays clear.
Members see whether they belong, what access they have, and what actions are available. If a community requires a plan, invitation, verification, or partner account, Onyx shows the requirement.
Channels
Channels keep communication organized.
A community may separate announcements, support, general discussion, events, and private channels. The point is to reduce noise and make the next action obvious.
Identity And Trust
Onyx ID supports handles, profile context, and trust states as those features become available.
That helps members understand who they are speaking with and why someone has access to the space.
What Communities Are Not
Communities are not a replacement for the mobile service.
They are not paid ranking, open speculation rooms, or public social feeds. They are shared spaces attached to the Onyx account.
Customer Control
Customers need controls for visibility, notification, membership, and participation.
A good community experience makes joining, leaving, muting, and managing access clear.
