Is it possible to create your own communities (sub-tildes?) on Tildes?

Is it possible to create your own communities (sub-tildes?) on Tildes?

No, it is not possible for users to create their own communities. All groups and sub-groups must be created (for now) by the creator/founder/god Deimos. Even in the future, the ability to create groups and sub-groups will be greatly restricted. It will not be open to all and sundry.

You may be interested in some of these previous discussions:

• Are we going to be able to make our own groups?

• Creating new groups?

• How to start a new group?

• Voting on future GROUPS rather than anyone can create anything at anytime?

• Adding new groups

• Adding new groups

• Users thoughts on groups?

There's also these:

• Daily Tildes discussion - new groups added, please subscribe to them if you're interested

• Daily Tildes discussion - proposals for "trial groups", round 1

• Four new groups added (and everyone subscribed): ~anime, ~enviro, ~humanities, and ~life

Also is there any type of "karma" system?

There is not yet a karma system. However, there will be a trust/reputation system for moderation.

By the way, I moved this topic to ~tildes, which is the group for all discussions and questions about Tildes itself. You might want to browse this group: a lot of questions you have (and didn't know you have!), have probably already been asked and answered here.

And, welcome to Tildes.
