Joining and Participating in Existing Towns

Joining existing towns is a great way to connect with like-minded individuals and explore diverse communities within the Towns platform.

Finding Towns to Join

1. Check Recommendations:
   • Check our X feed for community suggestions based on your interests or connections.
2. Ask for Recommendations:
   • See if your friends or communities you’re part of are using Towns. If not, start one up!

Joining a Town

1. Check Join Requirements:

   • Since Towns are token-gated, you’ll have to have access to the Town-specific membership token or digital asset to get in.

     

Membership Tiers

1. Towns has three membership tier settings that are admin-controlled. They are:

   1. Write - full permission to read messages, write to them, and react to them.

   2. React - ability to react to messages with emojis, but not write responses or messages.

   3. Read - ability to read, but not entitled to write or react.

      1. Members with read or react only entitlements will see “You don’t have permission to send messages in this channel” in the messaging bar, shown below 👇
