X Rolls Out New Feed Sorting Options for Communities
March 10, 2025
X has recently introduced a update to Communities , providing more ways to categorize posts in a community feed , which could encourage greater engagement on relevant topics .
According to Dong Wook Chung, X engineer, the platform incorporates new sorting options , allowing users to structure community posts based on trending topics , popularity ( Likes ) and chronological order.
Now that all X groups are essentially public, this modification may improve content discovery by making it easier for users looking for related topics to see community posts. Furthermore, users will gain a better understanding of the community’s goals after discovering it, which could draw in additional members.
The extent to which Communities influence X’s total participation is unknown. Although X has highlighted their increasing use, they may not be a significant engagement driver, as evidenced by the recent removal of the Communities link from the app’s navigation bar in favour of a dedicated video tab.
Even though features like Grok, which might not be utilised much, are nonetheless quite noticeable within the app, X is still pushing Communities.
With almost 650,000 postings made per day, X stated in March of last year that the amount of time spent in Communities had increased by 600% year over year.
Communities still seems like a specialised feature that X is attempting to enhance in order to promote more topic-focused conversations, even though that is a sizable volume. More than one-fifth of X’s users connect with Communities on a daily basis, assuming engagement levels have stayed constant. Participation may be further increased by the most recent upgrade, which makes community posts easier to find and search.
