Recommendations for SOGS Operators

Communication channels

If you operate a Session Group Server, it is recommended that you have a presence in the Session Open Group Operators Community on caliban.org.

Additionally, you may want to keep in touch with the maintainers of SessionCommunities.Online for important notifications and new feature announcements — cooperation with SOGS Operators is crucial to prevent abuse and to enrich Session as a whole.

Extra features

Community tags

Due to the lack of progress on the issue of built-in Community tags, you may insert tags at the end of your room description like so:

This is a cool chatroom. #cool #chat #free

The obvious benefit is searchability. However, tags such as #nsfw or #test also help us automatically hide parts of the Community display.

Language tags

Mark your Community with a language emoji by adding a tag of the form #lang:CODE at the end of your Community description.

You can use any two-letter country code, or use any of the following codes:

• lang:any or lang:all for 🌐,
• lang:en for 🇬🇧, and
• lang:zh for 🇨🇳.

Server-wide icons

You may notice the Host column groups Communities by their host SOGS, and some SOGS are easily recognizable by a unified icon. If you also want your Communities to be linked by a recognizable icon, the requirements are easy:

• The icon must be the same as an existing Community avatar.
• The icon must be safe-for-work, i.e., no suggestive or violent material.
• Your Communities must take care to follow our policy, which includes the Session Terms of Service.

Once you've chosen which of your existing Communities will share an avatar with your whole server, simply let us know.
