Public clubs appear in Discover and allow open joining. Public-protected clubs appear in Discover but use a code, password, or approved request to control entry.

Unlisted clubs do not appear in Discover; access is through a code or link, and they can have a password. Private clubs require an admin to send a personal invitation to the joining reader's username.

Passwords and invitations are different. Private clubs do not offer a shared code that anyone can use to join.

Step by step

  1. When creating the club, choose its visibility in the privacy step.
  2. To change it later, an admin should open club settings and review the joining rules.
  3. Check which invitations, codes, and passwords still fit the new settings.
