Itโs with a heavy heart that we share this sad news with all of the members of the Tezos Artist Network:
๐ just announced that theyโre shutting down the ๐ Communities feature on May 6th. For us, this feels like a real loss. Over the years, this network grew into something special. A place where more than 3,800 artists, collectors, and supporters could actually connect, share their latest drops, cheer each other on, and keep the Tezos art scene feeling alive and close-knit.
The problem is, the new group chat option theyโre pushing only holds up to 350 people right now. Thereโs just no practical way to bring all 3.8K of you over without leaving most folks behind. So, weโre going to have to pivot and figure out fresh ways to stay connected as a network.
While we work through this transition, please know that the Tezos Artist Network |
@tezosartnetwork account isnโt going anywhere. Weโre still right here, fully committed to supporting Tezos artists like we always have.
To all of you who kept showing up, the ones who consistently posted your work, jumped into conversations, gave honest feedback, and made this feel like a real community instead of just another feed, thank you.
We believe we can get through this together. The heart of the Tezos Artist Network isnโt shutting down with the ๐ Communities feature. Weโre just figuring out the next chapter.
Sending gratitude to everyone of you,
The Tezos Artist Network
Today we're announcing two product changes for organizing communities on X:
1. XChat now supports joinable links for groupchats. Create a public link & share direct to Timeline. With support for 350 members per chat (and growing), Groupchat Links are the fastest way to bring people together on X.
2. Due to declining usage, we're deprecating X Communities on May 6.
To migrate your Community's members, pin your groupchat link so people can join it over the next 2 weeks.
This is part of our broader effort to simplify the experience on X. Make no mistake: we are investing heavily in niche communities with the launch of Custom Timelinesโand much more to come.
