Populate your city

Give others the opportunity to support you in your liberation!

Build your tribe

If you're feeling like your city (or your life) is as dull as a ghost town, it's time to have fun building up your tribe! Your tribe shapes the culture of your city, supports its economic success, and collaborates in its activities to give you a leg up.

To build up your tribe, follow these steps

Tag your tribe:

Select Send a Postcard in your city's Civic Center located on the left side of your city page
Select Build your tribe
Tag your tribe with keywords that best illustrate the nature or your city

Invite people you know and love:

Choose the style of invitation postcard you want to send, then select that postcard
On the postcard form, add email addresses for each invitee on separate lines, or you can select import your contacts
Personalize the message content, if you wish
Enter your name, email address, and submit the form

Once recipients receive your postcard invitation and join Youtropolis, they'll automatically become members of your tribe. You will receive an email notifcation and an alert when new invitees join.

Invite Youtropolis members you'd like to get to know:

Select the search icon above and choose Cities
Select any tag in the tag box to explore cities, or enter your own tag search in the tag search bar to find kindred spirits who might wish to join your tribe
Select a city name to navigate to that person's city
On their city welcome page, select Create Message in their Civic Center to send them a private invitation message

Establish a unique urban culture

Cultivating your own distinct and diverse urban culture is a powerful way to grow your city's population. Imagine establishing an egalitarian society whose population helps you foment the change you're seeking. Whether you want to belong to a certain in-crowd, excel in a chosen skill, learn a new language, launch a new business, or hang out with artists and musicians, it's time to attract your ideal dream team to your city with the goal of having them join your tribe.

To draw interest and populate your city with like-minded folks and experts, tag your tribe with keywords that highlight the urban culture you want to cultivate (e.g., world travelers, protesters, knitters, bikers, investors, etc.) Adding up to five tags will attract a more diverse and interesting population.

To add tags to your tribe:

Select Send a Postcard in your Civic Center
Choose Build your tribe
On the Tribe form, add up to 5 tags to identify the nature of your tribe
Click Save

When other liberators search for matching words under People, your city will be listed in the search results with a convenient link to your city.

Manage your Tribe

Your tribe management page provides a list of your tribe members and the date they joined your tribe. If you want to banish a tribe member for any reason, follow the steps below. When you banish a tribe member, they lose the privilege of posting into your Younited Front and receiving future tribe notifications from your city. The tribe member won't be notified of their removal.

To banish a tribe member:

Sign in
Select Tribe & Alliances under the 3 dot Manage menu
In the tribe member listing, find the tribe member you want to banish and click Banish
Click Banish on the confirmation page to complete the action

To unbanish a former tribe member:

Sign in
Select Tribe & Alliances under the 3 dot Manage menu
Click Banished
In the list of banished tribe members, find the member you'd like to unbanish
Click the Unbanish link next to their city name
