Neighborhoods & Rooms
The simple map
Neighborhoods are the big gathering places. Rooms are the focused conversations inside them.
LavishMade uses neighborhoods and rooms to make discovery feel more human: broad enough to find your scene, focused enough to know where to post.
What is a neighborhood?
A neighborhood is a broad community area, like Arts, Sports, Culture, Business, or Entertainment. It is the front door for a scene: a place to join, read the room, chat live, and find smaller topic rooms that match what you care about.
- Join a neighborhood when the larger community feels like home.
- Post to a neighborhood when your thought belongs to the whole scene.
- Use the Live Lounge for casual real-time conversation with people in that neighborhood.
What is a room?
A room is a focused topic inside one or more neighborhoods. Rooms collect posts, blogs, deep dives, events, and other content around a specific interest, tag, team, craft, genre, practice, or conversation.
- Use rooms when you want focused discovery around a topic.
- Heart a room when you want more of that topic in your feed.
- Click hashtags to find rooms and tag pages connected to that subject.
1. Pick a neighborhood
Start broad. Choose the scene that matches your mood or community.
2. Find a room
Go focused. Browse topic rooms for posts, people, and conversations.
3. Share with context
Post to your profile, a neighborhood, or a tagged room depending on who should find it.
How tags fit in
Tags and hashtags are the lightweight signals that connect your content to rooms. If you post about film photography, a tag like #35mmfilm helps people find it through that room or tag page.
The goal is not to game discovery. Use tags honestly so the right people can find the right work.
Where should I post?
- Your profile: best for personal updates, portfolio pieces, and anything centered on your voice.
- A neighborhood: best for broad community conversations, questions, and scene-wide moments.
- A room or tag: best for specific topics people may want to follow over time.
Tip: Start with Neighborhoods when you want to find your scene. Start with tags when you already know the specific topic you are looking for.
