Create a Community

Create a Community

Communities bring people together around shared interests on the Hive blockchain. Follow these steps to create your own community using Ecency.

1. Sign in to Ecency.com with your Hive account.
2. Navigate to the Communities page and click Create community.
3. Fill out the required details such as name, description, avatar, banner, and community type:
   • Topic – anyone can post or comment
   • Journal – guests can comment but only members can post
   • Council – only members can post or comment
4. Review the community settings and press Create. Creating a community burns a small fee (currently 3 HIVE).
5. A new account like hive-123456 will be generated. You are its owner and can manage settings, moderators, and rules from the community page.

Your community is now live! Start posting, invite members, and grow conversations around your topic.
