Open Virtual Spaces in the flat.social Metaverse
Experience flat.social in one of the public community spaces from an open metaverse of flats run by hosts world-wide
A Flat Metaverse for Everyone
Who said that a metaverse has to be 3-dimensional with a compulsory VR headset? Experience playful virtual worlds that are run by communities open for everyone to join.
You only need a laptop or a mobile device to join in, no additional equipment necessary. We're dropping one dimension to make it flat and easy. Join us in this fun experiment!
A Place Your Members Come Back To
Hang Out, Not Just Post
Forums and chat servers are asynchronous by design. A flat is a place. Members see each other, hear each other, and have the kind of unplanned conversation that turns a follower into a friend.
Something to Do Together
Football matches, surfing, chess, dice, and arcade cabinets are built into the room. Activities give a community a reason to meet that is not a scheduled talk.
Build the Place Yourselves
Build mode is a group activity. Lay the flooring, put up signs and 3D text, place furniture and props, and set the lighting mood. Changes appear live for everyone in the room.
Small Groups in a Big Room
Walled-off corners isolate audio, so a book club, a study group, and a game night can share one floor without hearing each other. Members find their people by walking.
Launch Your Community Space
- 1Create a flat and pick a map
Sign up, name your community, and start from a template. One Open Spatial room is enough to begin; add rooms as the community grows.
- 2Decide who gets in
Public communities let anyone join with just a name. Private ones restrict entry to invited email domains.
- 3Set up roles and moderators
Create a moderator role with mute, remove, and ban permissions, and a builder role for the members who shape the space.
- 4Share the link and post the first announcement
One link is the whole community. Post it where your members already are, and pin a welcome announcement in the lobby.
