Written by Julien, lead developer of cruush.
What is a Coven?
A Coven is a group on cruush with its own chat. Covens used to be called Clubs. You find them from the Covens button in the top bar, or from the Covens tab in Messages.
How do you find one?
The Covens page has a search box for names, descriptions and tags. Sections include Unread, All your Covens, Recently active, Around you, Newly created and Tags. You can also sort by Recently active or Near me.
How do you join?
Open the Coven and tap Join Coven. If the Coven asks for approval, the button says Request to join instead, and then Request sent while you wait. Crowd Covens, such as Guys Crowd, are open to join, and nobody is added automatically.
How do you start one?
Tap New Coven. Give it a name and at least one tag, up to 10. A short description is optional. A switch called Require approval to join is on by default. When you create it, a public Confessional post announces it.
Who can do what?
- Roles are owner, admin, moderator and member.
- Owners, admins and moderators see and answer join requests.
- In chat settings an admin can choose who can post, from everyone down to admins only.
- Slow mode can be off or set to 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute or 5 minutes.
- Anyone can set notifications to all messages, mentions only or muted for a while.
Is there a size limit?
A Coven can have up to 1,000 members.
