How can i add multiple communities to my social network application?

Hello,

I have been going through the course on building a social network with ruby on rails. The idea that I have is to have the site set up so that it has multiple "communities" and the user can choose the one that they want to be a part of and start making friends, posts, etc. in that community. I'm just not 100% sure how to implement this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I would use the inkwell gem, just follow their documentation on how to install and use the gem. I have not work with this gem yet, but it seems like the easiest way to quickly and effectively add communities to your app

Here is the github link: ttps://github.com/salkar/inkwell

Thanks noah. I will definitely check this one out. Do you happen to know if it supports the latest version of rails?
