Start from a recipe, not a blank Flow.

Each template lists the Wave types, profile types, tags, first Waves and settings that work for one kind of community.

What a template is, and is not

A template is a written setup recipe. You create a Flow for free, then follow it in Flow settings. Dium has no one-click copy of a template yet.

Wave types

Which kinds of threads to use, and which to leave off.

Profile types

Custom roles with permissions and per-member limits.

Tags and first Waves

Default tags plus the first posts that make an empty Flow feel alive.

Access and moderation
