Twitter first started testing this in October final yr, with chosen creators invited to showcase their communities.
Now it’s being made extra extensively obtainable. The choice is at the moment obtainable on desktop solely, however the module itself, as soon as activated, is seen on all gadgets.
It could possibly be a great way for model accounts to focus on related Twitter communities, and encourage extra associated engagement and dialogue, which may assist to extend engagement and alignment within the app.
Although communities stay a reasonably area of interest providing, with just some Twitter communities taking off, and lots of being left by the wayside as they go towards the ‘public sq.’ ethos of the app.
