Getting Started

Hubs is an open source, web-based, metaverse platform comprised of various different instances, each with their own rooms, scenes, and avatars. To get started, you have a few options:

  1. Set up your own Hubs instance yourself.
    • You can consult the Beginner’s Guide for CE to get started setting up your own Hubs instance.
    • See the What’s Next? guide for tips, maintenance instructions, and optional improvements once your basic instance is set up.
  2. Have someone set up a Hubs instance for you.
    • You can join the Hubs Discord and look through the Job Board channel for people offering their services.
  3. Subscribe to a managed service offering Hubs instances.
    • There aren’t many right now, but you should be able to find some in the Hubs Discord. The Job Board channel is a good place to start.
  4. Join a community run instance.
    • Visit the Co-op CE Instances Board channel in the Hubs Discord to find like minded people and go in on a Community Edition instance together or find one that’s already up and running that you can support. USE AT OWN RISK!

Note: The Hubs Foundation simply provides the opportunity for users to connect via the Job Board and Co-op CE Instances Board channels and doesn’t endorse any of the posts.

Please visit the Hubs Discord for additional guidance. The community there is happy to help answer questions.
