Demo communities: the transparency registry

This is a live, public list of every organization on Communly that is currently running as a demo. Anyone can read it — no account needed. If your community is not on this list, it is not a demo, and nobody is browsing it as one.

What is a demo (spectator mode)?

A demo is a read-only showcase community that anyone can browse to see how Communly works. Demo communities live on a separate subdomain (demo.communly.io). You can look around without logging in, but nothing you click writes to anyone's real books, members, or governance log — the database itself rejects those writes.

What a demo is NOT: it is not your community being watched, mined, or studied. Real communities are never silently turned into demos. The only way an org becomes a demo is through an audited, logged action — and every one of those actions is listed below, in plain language, with who did it and why.

How to check that your community is safe

Search this page for your community's name or slug. If it is not listed in the "Demo communities" section below, it is not a demo. Every flag change is recorded in the audit history — so even if an org was ever briefly a demo, you can see exactly when it started and stopped, and who made the change.
