Community directory

A future map of connected communities.

The RelayHub community directory concept shows how local communities could become visible, discoverable, trusted, and connected without becoming centrally controlled.

Concept directory

Communities first. Federation second. Centralisation never required.

This page is a concept preview, not a live public directory. The goal is to show how RelayHub could help households, towns, groups, field teams, and regional communities discover each other, build trust, and cooperate.

What a community entry could include

Discovery without pretending discovery equals trust.

A future RelayHub directory should help people find communities while making trust, status, policy, and federation boundaries clear.

Basic identity

Community name, region, public description, contact pathway, and directory visibility status.

Capability signals

Supported communication paths, local services, relay availability, community notices, and validated infrastructure status.

Trust and federation status

Whether a community is discovered, known, introduced, federated, regional, dormant, archived, or retired.

Network effect

The value grows when communities can find each other safely.

RelayHub is not merely about resilient messages. The wider purpose is resilient community coordination: communication, knowledge, trade, governance, recovery, and cultural continuity.

Directory principle

A community being listed should never automatically mean it is trusted, certified, endorsed, reachable, or federated. Directory visibility, trust, capability, and federation must remain separate.
