X has released two updates: XChat now supports sharing group chat links and will officially discontinue X Communities

X product lead and Solana advisor Nikita Bier posted to announce two product changes for organizing communities on X, including:

XChat now supports a joinable link feature for group chats. Users can create a public link to share directly on their timeline. Each group chat supports 350 members (and is still increasing).

Due to declining usage, the X platform will officially deprecate X Communities on May 6.
