Meta Launches 'Communities' on Threads for Focused Conversations
Meta has introduced 'Communities' on Threads, a feature that enhances the platform's focus on specific topics. Launched on October 2, 2025, this new tool expands Threads' capabilities for focused conversations.
Communities on Threads serve as public spaces where users can share perspectives and engage in discussions about particular subjects. This transforms how users interact with specialized interests, building upon existing custom feeds and topic tags. Each community boasts a custom Like emoji, creating distinct identity markers within member interactions.
Discovery of these communities is facilitated through searching by name or tapping community tags on posts. They automatically pin to members' feeds menu and display as tags on profiles, clearly indicating user interests. Meta plans to introduce special badges for standout contributors and ranking mechanisms within communities and the For You feed.
The platform has been expanding its sharing capabilities. In February, it introduced public feed options, and direct messaging followed on July 1, 2025. For content creators, communities offer concentrated audiences with demonstrated interest in specific topics. Threads' approach to communities maintains the platform's core emphasis on public conversation while adding structural organization around topics.
Meta's Communities on Threads, launched on October 2, 2025, provide focused, topic-based conversations. They offer distinct identity markers, easy discovery, and recognition for active contributors. This feature benefits both users seeking concentrated audiences and content creators looking to engage with specific interests. While advertising plans are yet to be specified, Meta continues to expand Threads' advertising capabilities, potentially attracting more advertisers in the future.
