X Makes Communities Posts More Visible to Non-Members in the App

X has announced Some new updates for their communities based on topics that will launch more exposure to community posts.

As explained by X, the communities from the communities will now be acceptable to show in other areas of the application, including the main feed and within the recommendations.

What could see how the community posts get a lot more reach, which could then allow X to use these discussions, providing more opportunities to launch an engagement.

Members who are not a community will also be able to respond to these updates, although as X, the responses of the members of the community will be a priority for the display, to ensure that the community engagement is focus.

Finally, X will now maintain the contents of the community active even if the community is deleted.

What seems potentially problematic, in this community discussion, the community should probably be refused if the community is closed, although X notes that individual users can delete their own comments if they decide.

I am not sure that in this case is a great compromise, but again, it will give x more content to display 250 million daily users.

It’s hard to say how much community contributes to X’s overall engagement because while X tried it Make them more focusand repeatedly noted that the communities were Seeing more use Over time, he also recently removed the Community card from the bottom of the application navigation board, Replacing it with a dedicated video card.

Which suggests that the communities are probably not a key initiator of engagement for most users. Otherwise, X, probably, would not move the button, but again, I doubt that Grok is also a key element of use for most users, but X really wanted to press his Ai chatbot tool, with other cards the main functional elements.

Although noted, last March, X reported that time spent in communities had grown +600% compared to the year,, With about 650,000 community posts daily.

This growth has slowed down, but still, there are many posts that have been limited from a wider view so far, which X can now use to start multiple conversations in the app.

Although this cannot be what the members had in mind when joining these groups. The idea is to join the community by talking to like -minded people, and the fact that X can now share these posts with all users who can also comment on it may not be a welcome shift.

X notes that community designers can still hide the answers from non -managers if they choose, while you can also set a rule to stop the non -manager to publish (but do not match). So, there are still options to limit it.

And again, maybe this is a way to call more discussion, and it may be of more benefit.

Either way, x goes forward with an update, which is now in force.
