The Community Home
The Community Home
A community on Karmyq is a place you belong to, not a dashboard you administer. When you open one, it opens as a neighbourhood — who's here, what's happened this week, and who could use a hand — for members and stewards alike.
What you land on
Everyone — members and admins — lands on the warm Home tab:
- A warm hero with the community's name, its mission, a few of your neighbours' faces, and a visible cap bar. Communities are capped (150 by default, "on purpose — small enough that people still know each other"), and the bar shows how full this one is and how much room remains.
- "This week in the neighbourhood" — a small, honest pulse of real activity: neighbours who helped each other, open asks waiting for a hand (and how many are time-sensitive), and who recently joined. Rows with nothing to say are simply hidden — no empty "0" tiles.
- The open asks themselves, led by the relationships that make them feel close (your trust path to the person, not a bare score).
The four tabs
| Tab | What's there |
|---|---|
| Home | The hero, the weekly pulse, and the open asks you can help with. |
| People | Everyone in the community, the trust between you, and the community's norms. |
| How we're connected | The community's trust graph — how help has actually flowed. |
| Stewardship | Where the community is tended: shared decisions, splitting and merging, and (for admins) the steward-request tools, settings, and providers. |
Group communities also get an Activities tab for event coordination.
Stewardship lives one altitude down
Management still exists — it just isn't the first thing you see. Decisions, community splits, and merges are open to every member; the heavier admin tools (triaging requests, insights, exports, settings) live inside Stewardship, gated to stewards. The point is that running a community and belonging to one are different altitudes, and belonging comes first.
Old links still work
Every older link into a community page (an overview, requests, trust, or governance link you
may have bookmarked) resolves into the new four-tab model — nothing dead-ends.
