Many social media platforms take ideas from each other, and Meta seems to be doing something similar recently. As first reported by, Threads is testing a community groups feature that’s similar to Subreddits and X Communities. Chris Messina , a Threads early adopter,Messina discovered references to “Loops” in the code on Monday. Besides that, the code also mentions how users can join or leave communities as well as name a Loop community.

Messina said in his thread that users can join communities and discuss relevant topics, similar to the competition. However, since Threads doesn’t use traditional hashtags, it’s likely Loops will need a different tagging system. How Thread’s Loops will work remains to be seen, as we haven’t seen much of it. Alessandro Paluzzi, a developer and leaker, did manage to find out whatmay look like, including a menu to create new Loops. Much more about this feature is still unknown, and we’ll have to wait for official announcements to find out more.
