On the Communities screen, you can see a list of all communities you have access to, including ones you are a member of and communities you have permission to see and have the option of joining, such as open communities.
A community allows admins to create a structured and personalised learning experience for each user. Community members can see content that exists within a community, such as learning plans, articles, questions, links, and files. If a user is a member of one or more communities, they will see content related to those communities in their notification feed and search results.
Example: You might create a specific community for all the people in organisation who are based in London and then fill it with lots of useful content that is applicable to them.
If you are a member of a community, you will see the You’re a member label on the card:

Creating a community
If you are site admin or a user who is a member of an admin group with the permission to create communities, you will see the Create a community button in the top-right corner of the screen. Clicking this button takes you to the community creation screen in the Admin Panel, where you can start creating and configuring the community.
