You need an account in good standing to participate in communities. Moderators have the authority to restrict membership to their community based on their own rules, as long as those rules don't violate platform policy.
What you can post
- Text posts, images, links, polls, quizzes — all must be relevant to the community's focus
- Fan art, collection photos, reviews, discussions, memes
- AI-generated content must be tagged as such
- Cross-posting is allowed but spam is not
What you can't post

- Content sexualizing minors is banned everywhere, no exceptions
- NSFW communities require age verification (18+)
- Posting NSFW content outside designated communities = instant removal
Image and media uploads
