Over the last two weeks, we’ve rolled out a major upgrade to Communities on ERGs.io — making it easier for members to connect, share ideas, ask questions, and build real engagement inside their groups.
Here’s what’s new 👇
💬 Community Feed
Communities now have dedicated discussion feeds where members can:
Create posts
Like and comment
Participate in ongoing conversations
Post anonymously when desired
Posts now appear instantly after publishing for a faster, more seamless experience.
🧵 Nested Comment Threads (Reddit-Style)
Conversations can now go deeper and stay organized.
New commenting features include:
Unlimited nested replies
Visual thread indentation
Color-coded thread borders by depth
Collapse/expand controls for cleaner discussions
Inline reply boxes for faster interaction
✏️ Inline Editing
Members can now edit their own posts and comments directly within the feed — no page reload required.
Simply hover over your content and click the pencil icon to make updates.
🗑️ Post & Comment Deletion
Authors can now delete their own posts and comments with confirmation safeguards in place.
Deleting a comment will also remove all nested replies associated with that thread.
📌 Pinned Posts
Community admins can now pin important posts to keep announcements, resources, or key discussions visible at the top of the feed.
Pinned posts now include:
Amber highlight styling
“Pinned” badge indicators
Stable positioning even as new posts are published
👥 Join / Leave Communities
Members can now join or leave communities directly from the sidebar.
Member counts and profile avatars refresh instantly for a more responsive experience.
🪪 Member Directory
Each community now includes a dedicated Members tab showing who has joined.
Members also have full control over visibility through a new profile setting:
“Show me in the member directory.”
🛠️ Expanded Admin Controls
Community admins can now:
Pin or unpin any post
Delete any post or comment when moderation is needed
⚙️ Technical Improvements
Behind the scenes, we also made several infrastructure improvements to support long-term scalability and stability, including:
Migration to Sequelize ORM models for Communities
Standardized profile ID handling across the platform
PATCH request CORS fixes
Expanded profile model support for community functionality
🐞 Bug Fixes
We also resolved several issues, including:
Pinned posts shifting position after new posts were published
Missing edit/delete controls for content owners
Admin delete confirmation dialogs not appearing consistently
More community improvements are already in development 👀
