When you create a discussion on Stitch, you decide who can see it by choosing a location scope. Your options range from your suburb all the way to the entire global Stitch community.

This article explains each scope option so you can pick the right one for your topic.

Selecting The global Stitch community makes your Stitch discussion visible to all Members worldwide, regardless of where they live.

Choose this scope for topics that any Member would find relevant — arts, culture, food, dining, sports, dating, friendships, and similar broad themes.

All Full members can create worldwide discussions.

Selecting Your country, region or location lets you limit your Stitch discussion to Members in a specific area. You control the reach using a five-level toggle:

1. Country — visible to Members across your entire country (this is the default)

2. State — visible to Members in your state or territory

3. City — visible to Members in your city

4. LGA — visible to Members in your local government area

5. Suburb — visible only to Members in your suburb Move the toggle from Country downward to narrow your discussion's reach.

For example, a discussion about supermarkets in your suburb is best set to Suburb — Members across the whole country are unlikely to find it useful.

Selecting Your local area opens your Stitch discussion to Members who live close to you, including your immediate suburb and the suburbs surrounding it.

This is the simplest way to reach nearby Members without manually adjusting the toggle — Stitch sets the reach automatically based on your profile location.

Once you select a scope and submit your discussion, it will be visible to Members in that location straight away. You cannot change the scope after the discussion is published — if you need a different audience, you will need to create a new discussion.
