Twitter is making sure its users find it easy to stay in touch with relevant content on the go by releasing it new hashtag discovery feature for communities.
The move is designed to increase engagement across the app for different communities by allowing the feature to link relevant tweets that users may be looking for.
The feature is being seen as an innovative discovery element that displays a variety of hashtags that are mostly seen in every community. Therefore, the whole plan is to provide a link of tweets around a particular topic.
Twitter provided a detailed explanation of the feature showing a pictorial representation of what users can expect with the launch which will arrive first for Android users and will soon follow for iOS users.
An entire page is provided that lists some of the most used hashtags seen in a given community. These are displayed in a unique panel that can be found right above the feed on a Twitter account.
When you click on a tag of your particular interest, you will witness a long series of tweets that are relevant to the community that may have ended up using the same tag for the same purpose.
In this way, more and more communities are expected to engage with each other. So far, the app isn’t doing very well in this regard as many feel that the ultimate tweeting experience doesn’t exist yet.
While the actual launch of the feature came last year in September, Twitter appears to be working hard to use Communities to improve its closed discussions that include elements coming from places like Reddit and even social media giants like Facebook groups. . In this way, so many users can better interact with this method through their tweets.
We think the move is definitely a unique and interesting move, not to mention how it will be a great test to see what users think. But let’s not forget how reports continue to mention the low levels of engagement seen within the app’s Communities.
One issue identified by experts relates to how so many communities make up the small-scale audiences already seen on user profiles. So why post through a community when you can reach your own account better?
However, there’s always room for improvement, and we think Twitter can really turn the tide with a bit of out-of-the-box creative thinking.
