Ana L.

Run two 90-minute groups with a 30-minute gap. Send each group its own session link so the seat counts stay honest.

We tried one big group with breakout rooms. It worked, but the room got loud.

Step 1 of 6Organizer tour
Organizer

Create a Flow

A Flow is your community's home. Name it, pick a type, and choose how people join.

Organizer

Add roles that fit

Profile types are custom roles. Give speakers five sessions, let sponsors build one page, and keep members to questions and replies. Each role has its own permissions.

Organizer

Invite your people

Share a join link or a code. Members sign in with a one-time email code, so nobody makes a new password. Email invites come with Pro plans.

Organizer

Schedule a session

A Wave is any thread: a question, a discussion or a session. Set the time, length, seats and a Meet or Zoom link. Weekly office hours repeat on their own.

Organizer

Go live and keep the answers

At start time, go live in one click. Members join, raise hands and vote in polls. Questions asked in the session stay on the Wave for later.

Organizer

That is a Flow, set up.

Build the real one in a few minutes. Your first Flow is free while it has fewer than 50 members.

Free under 50 members. No card needed.

Running an event with sponsors or more than 50 members? Book a demo.

Member

Search before you ask

Type your question. Dium shows Waves that were already solved, with the best answer on top.

Member

Ask a question

Nothing fits? Start a question Wave. A Wave is a thread with a type. Add tags, and anyone you @mention gets a notification right away.

Member

Pick the best answer

Replies arrive in the Wave. Members mark the ones that helped. You asked, so you mark the one that solved it, and it moves to the top for everyone.

Member

Solved, and saved

The Wave shows as Solved and joins search. Ana is notified, and best answers raise her trust score, so helpful people are easy to spot.

Member

Join a live session

Sessions show seats and a join button. Raise your hand to speak, answer a quick poll, or send the host a direct message after.

Running an event with sponsors or more than 50 members? Book a demo.

Sponsor

Your page in the event

Sponsors, exhibitors and speakers each get a Page inside the event's Flow, with a wall, sessions and team.

Sponsor

Talk on the wall

Visitors leave quick messages on your wall. Reply, react, or pin the one everyone should see first, like your table hours.

Sponsor

Host a session

Run a demo or office hours from your page. Attendees RSVP and send questions ahead, and the questions stay on the Wave after it ends.

Sponsor

See what worked

Page owners see visits, button clicks and wall messages. Follow up with the people who reached out while the event is still fresh.

Sponsor

Sponsor pages that keep working.

Organizers turn on Pages inside any Flow. Start free, or book a demo if your event has sponsors.

Free under 50 members. No card needed.

Moderator

One queue for reports

Members report spam, harassment or false claims. Moderators and admins see every report in one queue.

Moderator

Act, then move on

Dismiss, warn, hide, delete, mute or ban. Hidden posts leave the feed right away, and the report moves out of the pending list.

Moderator

Flags stop repeat trouble

Five flags suspend an account, and a flag from an owner or organizer suspends it at once. Suspended posts are hidden, and admins can restore them.

Moderator

Clear roles, tidy feed

Each role has clear powers, and owners can change them. Idle questions archive after 14 days on their own, so the feed stays current.

Moderator

Moderation without the chaos.

Reports, flags, mute and ban come with every plan, including Free.

What the tour shows, and what it skips.

The screens above are built from Dium's own parts, filled with sample data. A few things only make sense in a real Flow.

What is real

The steps, the Wave types, the roles, the report actions, the flag rules and the archive timers. They match how Dium works today.

What is made up

Every name, message and number. Northside Makers Guild and Northwind Labs are fictional. The page analytics numbers are invented for the tour.

What you only see in a real Flow

Live video (sessions open your Google Meet or Zoom link), email digests, browser push and direct messages. See the full product overview.
