Allow setting your home world to a friends/friends+ instance.

Currently, you load into an invite-only instance of your selected home world when you launch the game. I'd vastly prefer for it to be friends+, so I could hang around there and let people join me as and when they please.
I believe this would also help somewhat in situations where a user gets on to see their friends and finds all of them are in invite instances, where the common choices would usually be to either exit the game or request invites with no guarantee of hearing back.

Wow it took 4 years and alienating a big portion of the userbase to implement this.

Hope they finally add This. I lost This Feature when they Blocked mods... Was so nice with f+ as home world.

i could see this making more sense for allowing the option to turn your home world into a friends only world without making a new instance of your home world. Allow only those users who know you from your friends list to join. However, I'd probably hold on the friends+ function only because, despite the fact that your friend is with you, you may or may not know who their friend(s) is.
Say that you want to have your friend join your home world and you either just wanna chill and watch movies/YouTube videos on your home's video player (depending on what your home world is). But then one of their friends joins off them, and let's say that they're some person that likes to annoy others (cause there can be some friends that are like that). Keep in mind that this is your friend's friend. While yes you can kick that person out of your home world depending on if they're being annoying/intrusive, it's an unnecessary step for you to take and is about a minute of your time taken.
While I'm not saying that a friends+ home world isn't possible, it's simply that I would rather want it to be a home world where I can allow anyone of my online friends, who I'm most familiar with, to join without having to send an invite request all the time.

This needs to be the game. Honestly, I am open to my friends joining me in my home or my core friends (shoot whatever that new friend group feature is called in the beta). Lately I am trying to get folks that can become gamers to join vrchat. These are seniors or people who just play here and there and would have loved being outside in real life. Because of the ongoing public Health restrictions, these people are now kind of feeling progressively lonely and so I really want to support their mental health. I know about 5-6 people who are willing to try a game that could be easy for them to adapt but this game has a little flaw in how you initially try to meet up with friends (well it’s more like it’s hard to explain this to the new players and get buy in)

Wooperlooper: While setting your homeworld to other things isn't possible. You can pick the world type you load into when you launch the game. Just enter in the launch link into the launch settings. I'd look up how to do it.

Kattsune Mao: ahh I start in steam vr is why, rather than log in via a browser to launch an instance and share a link. Seniors are really tricky to teach though, it is hard to show them ‘here’s 3 ways to find me in the game, then after we meet up, we’re going to travel to other worlds in 2 other ways potentially.’ It would just be easier to have a group home then portal the group.

Wooperlooper: The sad thing is the method I use to generate links for launching into the same world seems to have been broken. I'm not even sure why I'm getting "404" errors now :c. This would be a launch link for Steam VR, I launch from that also.

Let's swap this back to Open. That doesn't mean anything other than "leaving stuff as under review for almost a year seems annoying". It makes people think that we're working on it right now and it is on the way out soon. It isn't.
...but we're still considering this and it is still a good idea. I just want Custom Statuses from Canny, thank you very much! 😡 Would love to set things as "Under Consideration" or "Tracked Internally".

a better idea would be for the person who spawned the instance of any room be able to change the invite state of the room. That way they can open it up to friends+ if they want at a later time.
