Community Types

COMMUNX organizes its communities into three distinct types to cater to different engagement needs and levels of access

Community Types Overview

Structured for Purpose, Designed for Impact

COMMUNX categorizes communities into three distinct access types—Public, Open, and Private—each engineered for specific civic engagement scenarios. Whether you're reporting issues to local government, discussing community matters openly, or collaborating securely on sensitive projects, we provide the right environment.

Core Community Access Types

Public Communities

Government-Linkable

Access: Open to all users, linkable directly with district or ward/Development block officials.

Purpose: Formal issue reporting; posts here are routed to official dashboards for immediate action and tracking. Get Live status updates on reported issues and official responses

Example: "Nagpur official" feed for city-level problem reporting and resolution tracking.

Open Communities

Discussion-Focused

Access: Fully public, discussion-focused, similar to Reddit-style forums.

Purpose: Brainstorming, sharing updates, community debates, or informal discussions about local issues and civic matters.

Example: "Urban Sustainability Discussion" open to anyone to share ideas, concerns, or community updates.

Private Communities

Secure Collaboration

Access: PIN-protected, invitation-only, for NGOs, corporate projects, or specialized civic initiatives.

Purpose: Targeted collaboration on sensitive or high-priority projects with controlled membership and enhanced security.

Example: NGO-led "Water Safety Taskforce" working on confidential local water quality issues and solutions.
