Instagram Explores Discord-Like Community Chat Feature

The feature, currently an internal prototype, would allow group chats of up to 250 users with moderation tools for admins.

Instagram is developing a 'Community Chat' feature, similar to Discord, enabling group chats around specific topics with up to 250 participants.
The feature includes tools for admins to moderate conversations, such as removing messages or members who violate guidelines.
Meta will review Community Chats to ensure compliance with its Community Standards, though the exact disciplinary measures remain unclear.
Screenshots suggest creators can choose to make chats public or restricted to approved members, and promote them on their profiles.
Meta has previously introduced similar features on WhatsApp, Facebook, and Messenger, but there is no confirmed timeline for this feature's release on Instagram.
