Start a second community

One account can own up to three communities. How to start another one, who can do it, and how the switcher shows them.

  • setup
  • multiple communities

One Drry account is not limited to one community. From inside any community's console you can start another one from scratch: its own address, its own members, its own everything, sitting in the same account as the first.

  1. Open the switcher

    Click the community name at the top of the sidebar. Every community you own, or help run as an admin or editor, is listed there.

  2. Press "Start another community"

    Owner, admin or editor: any console seat can do this, not only the owner. Whoever presses it becomes the new community's owner.

  3. Name it and pick its address

    A short form asks for a name and a web address, checked for availability as you type. Your own account name carries over; nothing else about your existing community does.

  4. Finish setup

    The new community is created immediately, and you land in the same short setup wizard every new community starts with, already pointed at it.

Switching between them

The switcher lists every community you own or help run in one place, and lets you jump between them from wherever you are. Nobody else sees this list; it is scoped to your own account.

Common questions

Do I need a second email address?

No. One account can own up to three communities.

Can an admin or editor on my community start their own separate one?

Yes, and it has nothing to do with yours. They become the owner of a brand new community; your community and its data are untouched.

Is there one bill for all my communities?

No. Each community has its own plan and is billed separately.

Can I merge two communities together?

No, there is no way to merge communities. Each one stays separate.
