**Threads Communities: A Fresh Approach to Engage on Meta’s Platform**
If you’re a Threads user, you’ve probably come across topic tags that let users enhance their posts to connect with others who share similar interests. Recently, Meta has upgraded this feature by linking topic tags with its personalized feeds and debuting communities as a global beta. This article delves into the new communities feature, how it works, and the diverse interest-driven groups on offer.
### 100+ Communities Now Accessible
Since Threads debuted, users have casually labeled groups centered around particular topics as “book Threads” or “TV threads.” In response, Threads has formally embraced the term “communities,” establishing public feeds dedicated to interest-based discussions.
As stated in a press release from Meta, “Today, we’re unveiling communities on Threads. Communities are public, relaxed spaces where you can share unique viewpoints and engage in dialogues about subjects like basketball, TV, and others. Communities, currently being assessed across more than 100 of the most trending topics on Threads, enhance features like custom feeds and topic tags to facilitate meaningful connections with those who share your passions.”
### Highlighted Communities
The rollout of communities has introduced a range of new interest-centric groups to Threads, including:
– AI Threads
– Art Threads
– Book Threads
– Cats of Threads
– Design Threads
– Dogs of Threads
– F1 Threads
– Fashion Threads
– Gaming Threads
– Hiking Threads
– KPop Threads
– MMA Threads
– Music Threads
– NBA Threads
– NFL Threads
– Photographers of Threads
– Tech Threads
– TV Threads
– WNBA Threads
To mark the launch, Threads’ new head, Connor Hayes, is immersing himself in NBA Threads, NFL Threads, and TV Threads.
### Distinct Features of Communities
Every community on Threads comes with its own custom Like emoji, fostering a unique sense of camaraderie among members. Users can find communities using the Search tool or in their timeline, identified by blue topic tags. After joining a community, it will show up alongside their custom feeds in the app’s upper left menu and on their profile page within the newly introduced interests section.
Going forward, community creators will earn special profile badges to acknowledge their activity and involvement in the app. Moreover, Threads intends to broaden the post ranking feature beyond communities, making it applicable in the For You feed.
### Conclusion
The launch of communities on Threads marks a significant stride towards enhancing user interaction and nurturing connections around common interests. With over 100 communities at hand, users can dive into discussions that resonate with them. Which communities are you eager to check out? Share your thoughts in the comments.
