Meta Launches Threads Communities in Global Beta Across 100+ Topics

Membership is public, with Meta curating topic spaces to surface higher-quality posts.

Overview

  • The feature rolls out globally on web and mobile with more than 100 topic spaces, including NBA and WNBA Threads, K-pop, books, TV, and AI.
  • Community posts can appear in the For You and Following feeds for anyone, non‑members can join discussions, and members get custom Like emojis unique to each space.
  • Joined communities are automatically pinned in the feeds menu and tagged on user profiles, making interests visible across the app.
  • Meta is centrally creating and managing communities rather than allowing user‑created spaces, differentiating Threads from X’s user‑run model.
  • Special badges for standout contributors are coming, and Meta is testing ranking changes to highlight the most relevant posts within communities and in the For You feed.
