Communities are central hubs for members to interact together. Community members can chat, share events, and stay up-to-date on announcements.
Organization profiles ("Org Profiles") are accounts that users can follow to view past/upcoming events. Org profiles are especially helpful for separating your branded profile from your personal profile and personal Mutuals.
You should create a Partiful Community if you want to:
Have a dedicated space for discussion and community-building outside of your events
Make it easy for members to share events with each other
Have discussion groups for different topics related to your group
Have a more streamlined space to manage your community compared to a group chat
You should create a Partiful Org Profile if you want to:
Grow your audience and easily invite them to events
Separate your personal Partiful profile and Mutuals from your organization or brand (similar to an Instagram Business account)
You don't need an Org Profile to create a Community, and you don't need a Community to create an Org Profile.
