Idle

Groups

The group chat is not the whole group.

Idle keeps members, roles, private requests, discussion, quick chat, mentions, and group-only meets attached to the group they belong to.

One group, two speeds

Discussion for tomorrow. Chat for tonight.

Put lasting announcements in discussion and quick coordination in chat. Member roles, requests, and private meet access stay with the group instead of being recreated in every thread.

01

Group identity

Give the group a name, a face, and clear roles.

  • Create a public or private group for a crew, local community, or smaller circle.
  • Keep the logo, details, members, invites, and roles with the group.
  • Private groups can review a request before letting someone in.
02

Discussion and chat

Do not bury an announcement in forty new messages.

  • Use group discussion for longer updates and group chat for quicker coordination.
  • Mention current group members when a chat message needs their attention.
  • Group roles and notification settings can affect who sees, manages, or gets alerted about activity.
03

Group-only meets

Post the meet to the people it is for.

  • Create or follow group-only meets when a plan should stay inside the group.
  • Private group content, group chat, member lists, and group-only meets stay behind group access.
  • Idle's public website does not publish private group pages or expose invite-only group details.

Questions

What group admins and members usually ask

Private access, member roles, and where group-only meets appear.

Can I use Idle for a car group or crew?

Yes. Idle groups are spaces for crews and communities, with group identity, members, discussion, quick chat, mentions, private requests, invites, and group-only meets.

Can groups be private?

Yes. Public groups can be discoverable, while private groups may require a request or invite before people can see the full group.

Are group-only meets public on the website?

No. Group-only meets, private group content, member lists, and group chat should only be visible to people with the right group access inside Idle.

Can group admins manage members and requests?

Owners and admins may have tools for requests, invites, roles, logos, and group details depending on their group role.

Start the group where the meets already live.

Create a group in Idle, or ask to join one that is already part of your local circle.
