TechFlow News: On April 23, Nikita Bier, Head of Product at X, announced two community feature updates on the X platform: First, XChat group chats now support “joinable links,” enabling users to create public links and share them directly on their timelines; each group chat currently supports up to 350 members, with this limit set to increase further. Second, due to consistently declining usage, the X Communities feature will be officially discontinued on May 6.
X recommends that current community administrators pin group chat links within the next two weeks to facilitate member migration. Nikita Bier stated that these adjustments are part of X’s broader initiative to streamline the product experience, and the platform will continue investing in vertical communities through features such as Custom Timelines.
