Threads is evolving towards community building with the introduction of ‘Loops,’ a feature designed to help users discover topic-based communities on the platform.

Loops aim to boost user engagement by compiling related Threads into a single feed, enhancing the relevance of discussions.

This approach resembles the Communities feature on X and can be seen as a response to a growing demand for more focused conversation amid a trend towards private messaging.

Though still in development, Loops promises functionalities like joining and leaving communities, potentially bridging the gap between algorithmic content delivery and user preferences.

This feature could encourage more meaningful interactions within the app, addressing the decline in #hashtags as users seek more personalised content and find ways to make more meaningful connections in digital spaces.
