Communities, Twitter’s take on subreddits, grow after global rollout


Twitter's new Communities feature lets you join a kind of forum dedicated to a certain topic and share your own tweets to like-minded people. — dpa

Twitter’s new Communities feature, first introduced as a trial in late 2021, is now being rolled out internationally and these forum-like spaces are filling up with tens of thousands of like-minded people posting about niche topics like Thai food or photography.
