New Community design

[Loneliest_Cabin]

Did you notice? We’ve updated the Community homepage. It’s the first of many changes coming your way soon. We’re making it easier to find the topics you want to chat about, the help you need, or the Idea that would make all the difference to your Spotify experience. 

And it needs to be simple to get involved. 

Next we’ll be looking at the starting pages for Help, Chat and Ideas. 

Would love to hear what you think so far, and what you’d like to see. You can submit any Ideas in the usual place, just make sure to select the label ‘Community’ under ‘Choose a platform’. 

PS What’s your favourite colour scheme from the rotating options?

Pretty in pink

Blue Suede Shoes  

or

Orange Crush

Let us know in the comments below if you’re digging The New Style.

By 'chat,' is it referring to the community discussions, or the private messages? Are there going to be more changes in the 'Private Messages-', to perhaps make it easier to use? It would be helpful if it were like Discord, and without a frequency limit.

The "Chat" link on the homepage goes to the Chat page of the community. The chat page links to sections to post about music, playlists, talk about off topic non music things, etc. Some things are in different places at the moment such as the social off topic section being in "social" in the sidebar menu, but anything chat related will be on the chat page in the future. The chat page will be updated in the future as mentioned so stay tuned for some more updates. To get to your private community messages, click on your username in the top right corner of the community and in the dropdown, click on the envelope icon. The private messages system is not currently meant to be a live chat system similar to Discord, Slack, Messenger, etc. It is similar to posting a message in a thread or sending an email where you post messages back and forth but it's private. Features are limited to what Khoros currently provides.
