Our Community Platforms​

We focus on 5 key community platforms:

Reddit​

Reddit is a great place to share PlayCanvas work, ask questions, and connect with people who've proactively opted into a PlayCanvas-related community.

To join:

  • Visit our subreddit.
  • Click the 'Join' button.
  • Optional: Tap the bell to set notification frequency (we recommend Low which is Reddit's default).
tips for posting
  • An Image & Video post will perform much better than a Text post.
  • Try crossposting your PlayCanvas posts to related subreddits such as WebGL, WebGPU and WebXR - but always read each subreddit's rules first! To crosspost, select Share > Repost underneath your post, then choose the target community.

X​

X (formerly Twitter) is ideal for quick updates, launch announcements, short clips, and real-time conversations with the wider web graphics community.

To join:

  • Visit our official X account.
  • Tap the Follow button.
  • Optional: Tap the bell to enable notifications.
tips for posting
  • Attach a video to your post (GIF or short MP4, aim to stay below ~30s) for best reach.
  • Tagging @playcanvas in your posts dramatically boosts the chance that the PlayCanvas team will repost you.
  • Adding a link to your post will limit its reach. You can mitigate this by adding a link to the end of a thread.

LinkedIn​

LinkedIn is perfect for professional networking, sharing career achievements, and connecting with industry professionals in the web graphics space.

To join:

  • Visit our company page.
  • Tap the + Follow button.
  • Optional: Click Turn on to receive post notifications from us.
tips for posting
  • Share professional milestones like project launches, career updates, or technical insights.
  • Use industry-relevant hashtags like #gamedev, #webgl, #javascript, and #playcanvas.
  • Professional posts with project screenshots or videos tend to generate good engagement and networking opportunities.

Forum​

The PlayCanvas Forum is the best place for detailed technical discussions, troubleshooting complex issues, and sharing comprehensive tutorials with the community.

To join:

  • Visit the PlayCanvas Forum.
  • Tap Sign Up to create your account.
  • Optional: Enable email notifications for topics you're interested in following.
tips for posting
  • Search first - Many questions have been answered before. Use the search function to check existing topics.
  • Be specific - Include details like browser version, error messages, and relevant code snippets when asking for help.
  • Use proper categories - Post in the appropriate section (Help & Support, Showcase, Jobs, etc.) to reach the right audience.

Discord​

Discord provides real-time chat for quick questions, casual conversations, and connecting with community members and the PlayCanvas team in an informal setting.

To join:

  • Visit our Discord server.
  • Tap Accept Invite to join the server.
  • Optional: Customize your notification settings for different channels based on your interests.
tips for chatting
  • Use appropriate channels - Post in the right channel to keep conversations organized. For example, we have a dedicated channel on Gaussian Splatting.
  • Be respectful - We are proud to run a kind, friendly and helpful community.
  • Share screenshots and links - Visual problems are much easier to diagnose when you can show what's happening.
