Asking to join a community

Some communities on Milvao let people ask to join from milvao.com/communities. Every community there was checked by the Milvao team before it was listed. If something on a community's page looks wrong, use Report this community at the bottom of its side column.

How to ask#

1. Open milvao.com/communities and find the community. You can search by name or city, or show only communities Taking join requests.
2. Press Request to join on its card, or open its page and press Request to join under How to join.
3. Fill in your name and WhatsApp number with the country code. Email and a short note are optional.
4. Tick the box that lets the organisers message you on WhatsApp about joining, then press Send request.

What happens next#

The organisers look at your request. If they say yes, you get a join link on WhatsApp, from the community's number or from an organiser. Tap it and send the message it opens, then follow Joining your community on Milvao. The link works for 14 days.

If they say no, you don't get a message.

Your privacy#

Only that community's organisers see your request. Your number isn't shown on milvao.com or to other members. Requests are deleted 90 days after the organisers decide.

Frequently asked questions#

I sent a request twice. Is that a problem?#

No. A second request from the same number updates the first one.

Can I ask to join a community without a Request to join button?#

Not from Milvao. Its page explains how that community takes new members, usually through an organiser.
