Is anyone using actively the Twitter Communities?

      There are very mediocre people. Using it works for me, but it's a toxic experience.

        Tried it but didn’t really like it except for rare use cases that telegram groups are still actually better for

          No one in Discord ever thinks "we should invite the entire world into this server" and I think the same holds true for the reverse direction i.e. shrinking Twitter global scale down to a "community". Incidental and often ephemeral interests/opinions don't reliably translate into enduring collectives. There's much more to it. The Lens social graph primitives, that reveal how users are monetarily supporting artists, definitely narrows the gap though!

                  I personally don't like how the communities are open for anyone to view, wish twitter was able to gate it. Overall, I don't find it useful at all. A bit boring and dry.

                      • at first it was interesting, only was part of one community. there was some good discussion but then the creator abandoned it. sad actually. I'm now part of three more communities and I hardly have a look at them. it's always the same problem: time and the countless communication channels to manage.

                        one community is nice and has concrete benefits, though. there are some train enthusiasts who help people finding good and reasonable priced train connections in Europe. say you want to go by train from Berlin to Sicily. if you're not well-versed you won't find good connections and prices on official German, Austrian, and Italian sites

                            Very similar answer to @yoginth.lens . Initially I thought that Communities could replace Discord and make communication with communities more streamlined.

                                Not really and I don’t think no one does. Personally I like having one account for crypto and another one for the rest to have the timeline I want

                                  What is Twitter Communities? I do use the List Feature though... nice to have different lists focusing on different content.
