Twitter

Everyone has done it: liked a post just to find it again later, then cringed, because a like is a public endorsement. Bookmarks are the better tool for the job. Saving a post to your bookmarks files it away in a private collection that only you can see — no announcement, no notification, no trace on your profile.

If you went looking for your X Communities this year and found them missing, you did not break anything. X shut the feature down, with the retirement completed on May 30, 2026. Communities — public, interest-based groups with their own feeds, admins, and moderators — are no longer part of the platform. Here is what happened, and what has taken their place.

If your main X timeline feels like drinking from a fire hose, Lists are the tap you control. A List is a custom timeline built from a group of accounts you choose. Open the List and you see recent posts from only those accounts, in one focused feed, with none of the algorithm's detours. For many longtime users, Lists are the feature that makes X feel manageable again.
