NoQu Official

Welcome to Groups! Here's some information to help you get started.

To begin, note that when you create a group it must first be approved. Once the NoQu team has reviewed it, we will approve it (assuming it doesn't contradict our guidelines) and you will receive a notification.

What Can I Use Groups For?

So many things! Here's some suggestions.

- A Private WIP page

You can make groups totally private, making this a great way to keep track of your story's details.

Simply make your group and set it to private and, if you don't want site users to see it listed, "hidden."

You can then add friends your beta readers to your group so they can follow along with your progress!

- Find Your Community

Find people in your niche people! Make a group to gather writers with common interests, fandoms, beliefs, writing styles, etc.

- Activities

You can make groups for active things such as a book club, a role play group, writing sprints and crawls, and more.

How To Make A Group:

Go to the Qummunity Group page >

Atop the list of groups, on the right corner, click "+ Create Group" >

Give your group a title and, if you would like, a cover image (you can also add/change the image later) >

Set it to "Public" or "Private" (you can change this setting later) >

Click "Create."

Once you've created the group and you are on its page, you can further adjust the settings by clicking the three dots next to "+ Add Members."

How to Make a Private Group:

Begin creating a group. Change the Privacy setting from "Public" to "Private" >

*A "Visibility" option will appear; if you want it the group to be unlisted, change the setting to "Hidden." >

Hit "Save."

If you want to make a pre-existing group private, simply hit the three dots next to "+ Add Members" and adjust the settings there.

*Important Note: If you do not select "Hidden," even if you do have it set to "Private," other site users not in your group may receive notifications from your group when a user posts. This may include a short preview of the post. If you do not want other users to receive these previews, you will need to set your visibility to "Hidden."

How to Add Members:

When you first create a group, there will be a box to the right that is titled "Get Your Group Started."

In this box it will have a prompt to "Invite Your First Members." If you know the email address of the user you would like to add, you can use this option. However if you do not, follow these steps.

Once on your group page, click the "+ Add Members" button at the top right corner >

Click "Add Site Members" >

Either scroll through the list of members or begin typing their name in the search bar >

Check the box next to the use(rs) you are wanting to add >

Click "Add to Group."

How to Add Admins to Your Group:

Once you have added the members to your group (see previous instructions) who you want to be admins, go to your "Members" tap on your group page >

Click the three dots to the far right of their name, next to the "Following/Follow" button >

Click "Make Admin" >

You will see a pop up displaying what an Admin has access to. If you want this person to be an Admin, click "Confirm."

How to Adjust Your Notification Settings:

There are two ways to adjust your notifications...

To adjust ALL group notification settings, scroll to the top of the browser >

Click on the arrow next to your Profile Picture >

Click "Notifications" >

Scroll down until you see "Social Groups" >

Adjust your settings accordingly.

To adjust SPECIFIC group settings, go to the group whose notifications you want to adjust >

Click the three dots next to the "+ Add Members" button >

Click "Notification Settings" >

Adjust accordingly.
