Goal
Make communities the main organizing unit.
This phase moves beyond a global feed. Posts now belong to named communities with URLs, rules, and basic moderator permissions.
Build
- Community creation and edit screens.
- Community pages with newest and top post sorting.
- Moderator list, community rules, and simple access checks.
- Text posts and link posts with clear validation.
Concepts
- Authorization and ownership.
- Slugs and unique constraints.
- Relational modeling for communities, posts, users, and moderators.
- Server-side validation as the source of truth.
