We have applied some algorithm updates to the Top (Trending) Tab. It will still feature trending content but will now prioritize high-quality content for a longer period and reduce sensitivity to gaming.
Let us know how you feel! It may take a few days to become more effective.
Hello, friends! How has your experience been so far with the new 'Also share with followers' feature when posting in your communities?
This feature is now available on iOS & Web, and coming soon with the next app update on Android.
We will soon follow up on the cool updates of Communities with Web and Android as well, likely in early next year.
For admins and mods, I would also recommend checking out the new settings that are available only on the Web, including Community Lists and Spotlight on Profile.
X Communities Tip: If you've recently created a community, here are quick ways to grow it using exclusively advanced web settings:

Hello all! This community is exclusively for discussing all things related to the X Communities feature. If you have feedback about other features of X, we have other new communities you can join and share your feedback!
Update: Hidden posts or posts from removed users will no longer be visible to community moderators.
We made this change because the current UI is not very user-friendly after moderators hide multiple posts. Building a separate activity log for moderators is on our roadmap.
You know it
@XSpaces
! Time spent on Communities has grown +600% in the past year – with more than double the number of active Communities.
Communities also have 3 times more posts and unique users posting compared to 2023. There are so many new members in Communities like
[Communities] Community owners can now add a question for users to answer before joining. Responding to the question is voluntary, but it can serve as a valuable tool to evaluate whether a user is a good fit for your community.

Supporting community moderators in combating spam is our next highest priority. We started building more internal tools and admin tools to address this issue and help communities grow faster.
Hello Arsenal FC Community! The original admin of this community is now deactivated.
This community is one of the most active soccer communities on X, and Communities team has restored this community back.
Let's keep growing!
Question to X Communities admins and mods: What are your strategies for growing your communities? Let us know if you have ideas for features to help your communities thrive more.
Growing number of feedbacks and interests towards Communities being spot on 🥰 Very thankful and excited that I have an opportunity to contribute to this product as an engineer which has great potential
@xDaily
To be clear, this setting is about making Communities safer for everyone by automatically filtering out NSFW content. Only users who have specified their age will be able to search Communities with NSFW content.
Communities bug fix:
- Sorting options for posts will be remembered.
- [Web] Bookmark and vote polling are fixed.
- [iOS] Community posts will be translatable.
Your reports and feedback are very valuable for us to act on immediately. Thank you!
[Communities Update] All verified users should now be able to create up to 10 communities!
To all Communities leaders, I would strongly recommend to join 'Communities Feedback' to see the latest updates early!
We have recently resolved the issues related to missing posts and timeline not loading in Communities. Stabilizing the infra is our top priority. If you still see any relevant issues, please let us know.
Congrats and thank you to

Nadir built one of the most important new features of the communities end-to-end in full stack 4 different codebases alone with the support from the best client and backend
Lists is a cool feature to discover accounts of our interests and curate our own personalized timeline.
Finding Lists of our interest is easier now, just need to type one in global search.
Now available on Web and Android only, with iOS support coming up soon!
Big shout-out to all the community leaders working hard to build healthy, thriving communities. Growing a community is very challenging at this time. The Communities team will continue to listen to all of you and collaborate in the building process.

Happy Thanksgiving! We don't celebrate this in my home country, but I respect and love the idea of having a day to remember everything we're thankful for. Great culture
I think it would be amazing if the media tab were improved further for designers and video creators to build portfolios and share their content on this platform. What features would help you the most?
Also, share your design feedback with our product designer

Hello everyone! We are excited to share that we just launched Search for Posts in Communities!🎉🎉 The feature is available on Web and latest version of iOS, and Android will follow up soon next week. Please try out and share your feedback! 🙂
I'm thrilled that Communities has now been officially launched in Japan! 🫂
Communities is a space for us to teach, learn, and share the sense of belonging. We hope that many great conversations will soon begin and be shared here.
Great explanation by
@EFarraro
for why $1 verification is needed for posting. AI & Bot attacks are clearly becoming smarter to break through our sign up verifications, and we already are acknowledging that ID Verifications & making puzzle questions harder are neither sustainable
Many communities in X are growing very quickly! 🥳
Communities is a very cool feature that helps you meet others with the same interests and build your audience!
There have been questions about why posts don't show up after you post to a community. Currently, for Pinned Community Tabs on Home, the default timeline is trending. You should be able to see your post in the latest tab of each community. For Web and Android, we are currently
NEWS: Time spent in
@HiCommunities
on X has increased by 300%!
The team's hard work on this feature is starting to pay off, but there's much more in the works.
I believe Communities has amazing potential. Imagine each community has own culture, vibe, sense of belonging, etc and acts like a social media. Then X would become a social-media-platform-provider.
Is this going too far?
If you are a Yankees Community admin and add 'Baseball' as a search tag, your community will be recommended and become more visible to users who are looking for baseball communities. The more relevant search tags you add, the better.
Now available for setup on the web!
