Comms. - The communities X abandoned

X officially axed Communities. Comms is a premium, independent replacement engine engineered to rescue displaced hubs and restore true audience ownership. Built for power users: 💨 Server-Rendered Theme: Zero-flicker dark mode. 💬 True Nested Threading: Clean, chronological lines. 🛡️ Hardened Security: Programmatic mod logs & auto link-spam blocking to kill bots. 🏆 Gamification: Native user retention leaderboards.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Andy, the developer behind Comms. When X abruptly shut down Communities and replaced massive, thriving interest hubs with unthreaded 1,000-person group DMs, I saw community managers losing years of audience building overnight. I decided to build a direct, independent rescue path. I engineered Comms from the server layer up using a modern, high-performance stack (Next.js, tRPC, Supabase) to ensure it feels premium, fast, and secure. Here is what we fixed over traditional group chats: 💨 Server-Rendered Theme: Zero layout or theme flash when loading at night. 💬 True Nested Threading: Chronological alignment so conversations stay structured. 🛡️ Hardened Moderation: Programmatic action logging and automated link-spam blocks to keep bots out. 🏆 Native Retention Tools: Built-in fan engagement leaderboards. The platform is live, completely free to start, and already hosting active spaces. I'd love to hear your feedback on the architecture, and I'll be right here in the comments answering your questions all day! 🛠️
