It appears that Threads is working on a Communities feature called "Loop", which might be similar to subreddits or X Communities.
All I can tell is that you'll be able to Join and Leave.
This is new as of Threads v352.0.0.
@chrismessina We have something similar on the backburner called "groups". Can't imagine why it would be called loops though.
@Gargron @chrismessina
A real kick-in-the-gonads for @dansup. Not nice. Someone who they might listen to should tell them.
@Gargron @chrismessina
(the name, not the feature)
@Gargron @chrismessina Loops or Loop? as in "in the loop"
@Gargron @chrismessina Do you have some more information on Mastodon Groups? As far as I understand it, nothing happened with it since the PR of October 2022, and I kinda assume it was scrapped. But I'm taking it this is still planned?
@laurenshof @Gargron @chrismessina Groups is the killer feature I've been anticipating for years... so I'm super keen to hear it's not scrapped
@Gargron @chrismessina Meta proactively putting the knife into dansups new thing (joke mostly)
@Gargron @chrismessina Presumably because you can join the group so you are ‘kept in the loop’.
@Gargron Well... "Threads" can be spun into "Loops"?
Also, seems like it matches Reels?
