Google to Relaunch Nest and Fitbit Forums Next Month With No Post History

Google says the shift modernizes legacy forums into a single ecosystem.

Overview

  • Google says redesigned Google Home & Nest and Fitbit communities will launch in May with faster pages, clearer categories, and a new Gemini for Home discussion area.
  • All existing threads will be deleted on the new sites, so users are urged to save or screenshot anything important in advance.
  • Fitbit’s current community will be retired, which requires new accounts and wipes badges, profiles, and past contributions.
  • Home and Nest users may keep their logins, though their previous posts will not carry over to the new platform.
  • Google calls the overhaul a foundational shift to replace aging systems, including Stadia-era tech and a pre-acquisition Fitbit forum, even as it erases years of DIY guides and fixes.
