A Big Update to Collective: The neighborhood bar just got a lot more room to talk

We're trialing a big upgrade to how members connect and share! We've created a dedicated Discussions Tab. Think of it as the digital version of your favorite neighborhood queer bar where you can talk to other queers about absolutely anything. It’s a dedicated sanctuary for text posts, questions, and community updates. You can now scroll through a focused feed to see what people are actually talking about and join the conversation in real time. The new Discussions tab is available for most people today and rolling out to everyone later this month. We’ve also doubled the character count for text posts to 3,500 characters. You now have the space to share creative manifestos, dive into your artistic process, or describe niche projects in detail. When you can show more of your queer self, you can find your next bestie, collaborators for your next creative "side quest" or professional project. We've also made it much easier to find new people to follow and connect with. You can scroll through the community and see more of a member’s profile before you decide to follow. This improved visibility helps you move past the digital noise and find the matches that actually matter to you. If you aren't seeing these new features yet, don't forget to update the app in the App Store.
