But only if you have the correct NFT.

What's the problem with an exclusive community? The website is decentralized such that people can form exclusive communities with whatever rules they want, with no concern that an overarching corporation will dethrone them.
Exactly! What's really cool though is that communities can have their hidden members-only groups on Caches but still interact with the public at large there too. Communities could have a hidden group, only for community members, and a public group to connect with the world. Of course you have your own personal profile to reach whoever you want also.
You can totally start a community here without a NFT! In fact, we want you to! Everyone is allowed to create 1 public, private or hidden group for free. But! If you have a community NFT we can create a hidden group for you, and when members of your community sign into Caches with a wallet containing that NFT, we can automatically add them to that group. Unless you have that NFT you'll never even know that group exists or how much activity is happening behind the scenes. We can also attach a badge next to community members names throughout the site showing they're a member of that community if desired.

For example, this guy is part of the Layer0 community, as you can see by the little L0 icon below his name. https://caches.xyz/members/25016e3c/

For you that may mean nothing, but for other members of Caches that little icon may bring increased trust to that member, or help him identify another member of his community in a sea of random usernames. Here's a blog post about WordPress and sign in with Ethereum that gives a broad overview of the idea.
