Can I create my own group on Souldaters?

Souldaters has around sixty curated tribes, from vegan and sober to hikers and single parents, but your community might be more specific: vegan runners in your city, a queer book club, a sourdough circle. You can create it yourself.

Tribes are at the heart of Souldaters because shared interests and values are one of the most reliable foundations for friendship and love. A small, specific tribe can be more valuable than a large general one, because the people in it genuinely share something that matters to them. Creating one is free, and it is a great way to become a connector in your own community.

How to create a tribe

1. Open Tribes in the app.
2. Check the directory first; a similar tribe may already exist.
3. Choose a clear name, an emoji and a category.
4. Write a real description: who it is for and what people talk about.
5. Join it, then invite people by posting in related tribes' boards.

What does a tribe do?

• Public page: each tribe has a page at /tribe/<name> with a discussion board.
• Profiles: tribes show on members' profiles.
• Compatibility: shared tribes raise the soul-match score.
• Filtering: members can filter Discover to people sharing a tribe.
• Discoverability: once a member-created tribe has three or more members and a real description, it can be indexed by search engines, helping like-minded people find it.

Tips for a thriving tribe

• Be specific. "Wild swimmers in Brighton" attracts more than "swimming".
• Post a welcome message and a question to get people talking.
• Suggest simple meetups on the board.
• Keep it kind; report anything that breaks the rules.
