How do I create a space on flat.social?
Create a flat, add an Open Spatial room, set who can join, then share the link. The whole thing takes a few minutes, and you can change everything later. This page is the short version. Each step links to a deeper guide if you want more detail.
How to create a space
The organizer happy path, start to finish.
- 1Create your flat
Sign in, create a new flat, give it a name, and pick a short URL. This is the home for all your rooms. Full guide: Create a flat.
- 2Add an Open Spatial room
Inside your flat, add a room and choose the Open Spatial type so people can walk around and talk by proximity. More: Create and configure rooms.
- 3Set who can join
Decide whether anyone with the link can enter, or limit access to certain people or email domains. More: Privacy and access.
- 4Share the link
Copy your room or flat link and send it to your guests. They open it in a browser and walk straight in. More: Invite people.
Want it to look like yours? After the basics work, set a vibe and map and add your logo and branding.
What to do after your room is live
Once people can join, a few extra steps make events run smoothly. Add helper roles so others can moderate, arrange your lobby so guests know where to go, and check who is online during the event. Picture this: you are hosting a 50-person meetup, so you give two co-hosts moderator roles before doors open and label your rooms in the lobby ahead of time.
Names, maps, vibes, access rules, and roles are all editable after launch. Set up the basics first, then refine as you go.
