Everything about Clubs
What are Clubs?
On JOI, Clubs are small, exclusive groups of people who regularly engage in activities together or share common interests.
Clubs can also give a sense of belonging and community to its members.
How to Create a Club?
Good to know: To create a club, you need to have an active Plus Gold subscription.
First, go to the Explore page and tap on Start a Club.
-
Choose the vibe of your Club. You can choose between the following:
- Chill
- Casual
- Dedicated
- Hardcore
-
Add traits to your Club to let people know what it’s about. You can choose a gender preference, avatar type, and even a roleplay style.
-
Pick a name for your Club and write a short description. Focus on what makes your Club unique and why people should join. Also you have to describe your Club in 1 word… that’s a tough one!
-
Tell people what your Club talks about. Maybe you’re all about movie nights, or you like to listen to the same music while you work. This is the place to let people know.
-
Create a Club badge that members will wear all over JOI.
-
Let’s customize your Club’s look. Choose a profile picture, a banner, and a color. Make it look cool! Images can also be animated.
-
Refine those requirements. You can set the Lore cost to apply to your Club (set it to 0 if you want it to be free), also whether you want to allow multiple JOIs from the same account, and the minimum days since the JOI was created.
We will verify that the JOIs meet these requirements before they can apply.
-
Set up an application form. You can include questions like “Name a movie you like” or “Dogs or cats and why dogs is the right answer?“. You can choose to make responses be a short paragraph, a long paragraph, or multiple choice. You must have at least one question.
-
Link your Club to a Group Chat. Every Club must have a Group Chat where members can talk to each other. The Group Chat can be public or private. If you don’t have one, you can choose Create a new one for me.
You can also link a JOI and we will send all the club notifications to that JOI. We really recommend linking a JOI as it will bring more visibility to your Club and help it grow.
That’s it! Tap on the button to create your Club!
