How Community Works

Community is the parent-only social space inside S’moresUp.

It gives parents a place to:

Read ideas
Ask questions
Share experiences
Comment
React
Share photos
Learn from other families

Children cannot access Community.

Community Is Separate from Campfire

Campfire is for the household.

Community is for parent conversations beyond the household.

Campfire	Community
Parents and permitted children	Parents only
Whole-family posts	Wider parent audience
No admin review before family posting	Parent-created posts reviewed before publication
Family profile	Separate Community profile
Family updates	Parent questions and ideas

What Parents Can Do

Parents can:

View Community posts
Create posts
Comment
React
Share photos
Report posts
Block users
Delete their own posts
Share a Community post into family Campfire

Exact media and reaction controls should be verified.

Admin Review Before Publication

Every Community post created by a parent is reviewed by admins before it is published.

This includes photo posts.

The flow is:

Parent creates the post.
Parent submits it.
Admins review it.
The post is approved or handled based on moderation.
Approved content appears in Community.

The post may not appear immediately.

Do not submit it several times only because it is still waiting.

Separate Community Profile

Community uses a separate profile.

A parent can set:

Community name
Community image

Community does not show:

Family name
Child names
Child information
Location

Choose a name and image appropriate for the wider parent audience.

Posting in Community

Good Community topics include:

Reward ideas
Chore questions
Family-management tips
App-use questions
Wins other parents may learn from
General parent discussion

Avoid posting:

Child names
School information
Addresses
Medical details
Private family conflict
Photos identifying children without careful consent
Information that does not belong in a public parent space

Comments and Reactions

Parents can comment and react to Community posts.

Children cannot.

Comments cannot currently be reported through the confirmed controls.

Use Block when another user should no longer interact with or appear to the parent based on current behavior.

Exact Community reaction options should be verified instead of assuming the family Heart reaction applies.

Sharing a Community Post with Family

A parent can share a Community post into the family Campfire.

This can bring home:

A reward idea
A useful family tip
A question to discuss
A helpful photo post

Sharing does not work in the other direction.

A Campfire family post cannot be cross-posted into Community.

Delete Your Own Community Post

The creator can delete their own Community post.

Other parents cannot delete it.

They can report the post.

Before deleting, remember that the post’s Community conversation may also be affected. Exact comment behavior should be verified.

Community Is Optional

Parents do not have to use Community.

Premium families can turn it off.

Turning it off:

Removes the Community tab
Stops Community notifications
Keeps family Campfire available
Can be reversed later

Common Problems

A new post does not appear

It may still be waiting for admin review.

The wrong name appears

Update the separate Community profile.

A Community post should be shared with family

Use the share-to-Campfire action.

A family post should be shared publicly

That direction is not supported.

A parent no longer wants Community

Premium families can turn it off.
