Prevent community type changing from private to public
Until we figure out how to gracefully make this transition without compromising privacy of posts/comments in a private community. We should prevent changing communities from private -> public for creators/admins.
The reverse , ie from public to private can be continued to be allowed.
On the app-side it would probably be good to have a small (but conspicuous) warning that "A private community cannot currently be made public at a later date" on the community settings page. Just to clearly notify people about this.
AFAIK this is done, should we close this?
Probably. We should probably also open a new issue in okuna-app about improving the related UI a bit, though:
Creating a community:
- Maybe make the text more conspicuous (not sure if needed).
Editing a community:
- Disable the Public/Private control. Right now you can change it to Public while editing, only to get an error toast saying "a private community may not be changed to public" when you try to save.
- We should probably also change the text below the control to e.g. "A private community cannot be made public" since the current text says "cannot later change". Note: Talking about only changing the text shown when editing a community.
