Community Guidelines set the expectations for behavior in your community. Guidelines saved in Tightknit are displayed on the /community-guidelines page of the Community Site, and are linked from the welcome message new members receive.

​
Where to configure this

Go to Onboarding under Community in the sidebar. Community guidelines are edited alongside your welcome message, because that is where most members first encounter them.

Did you know you can update these with our MCP server too? Try asking your agent: “Rewrite our community guidelines to add a section on self-promotion.”

You can set a custom emoji icon that appears next to the Community Guidelines link in the community site navigation sidebar. This helps visually distinguish the guidelines in your site’s navigation.
