A Blog Community brings participating FC2 Blog Users even closer, with a community you can interact with other users through the blog administration page. Share your hobbies, etc. and talk with your FC2 Blog friends, discuss certain topics and exchange opinions, make each other laugh and make each other think.

Anyone can see communities that are set to public, but only logged in FC2 Blog users can create topics or leave comments. You can make groups with other users you meet through blog entries because your set information such as because your blog link, handle name, etc. will be passed on.



Set up topics with varying themes within the community and make your own comments and read about what the other members think or feel.
Anyone can set up their own community and become an administrator, so why not try and make your own?.

Community Introduction

We suggest checking the community introduction to see what topics are being discussed and what rules are involved before joining the community.

Participation Approval

Some communities require that you be approved and some communities don't require any approval to join them.
If approval is required then the participation application will not be processed until the administrator chooses to approve or deny your participation.

Privacy Level

There are only two levels of privacy for topics, "available to anyone" and "for community members only".

Topic Creation

Administrators can create topics but they can also give authority to community members to start topics if they like. However, community members can post comments on any topic.
