The space, called “Communities,” is kind of like a Discord server built into a creator’s channel. With Communities, YouTube is hoping creators won’t need to use other platforms like Discord or Reddit in order to interact with viewers.

Communities are a space for viewers to post and interact with other fans directly within a creator’s channel. In the past, viewers have been limited to leaving comments on a creator’s video. Now, they can share their own content in a creator’s Community to interact with other fans over shared interests.
