How to post into a community

Once you join a community or two, you also have the option to add up to five communities that are on-topic with your post for more visibility. If you would like to submit a post to a community you haven’t joined, you can do so by creating a post directly from the community’s homepage. Every community has its own rules, so please be sure to read each community’s bio/description and channel posting guidelines to make sure your post is submitted to the correct channel and meets any other requirements.

Every Community on Game Jolt is different and may have its own set of rules. Always check a Community's description for specific guidelines on posting and expected behavior.
