On April 23, Nikita Bier, the head of product for X and advisor to Solana, announced changes to two community organization features on the X platform. According to BlockBeats, the updates include enhancements to XChat and the discontinuation of X Communities.
XChat now supports group chats with joinable links, allowing users to create public links that can be shared directly on timelines. Each group chat can accommodate up to 350 members, with plans for further expansion.
Due to declining usage, the X platform will officially discontinue X Communities on May 6.
