Community members can now post updates and share links or videos with others in the community through the feeds.
Permissions on feeds
Depending on whether or not a user is a part of the community or is an admin of the community, the feed options will change.
If a non-member tries to comment or like a post, then an error message "Only members of this community can participate in discussions" is shown at the top of the page.
Another category of a user is a non-approved user. A non-approved user cannot view the feeds until the account is approved by the site admin.
Disable feeds on Communities
By default, the discussion feed is enabled once you create a community.
If you want to limit the interaction to just one way - from admins to members, then you can disable it from the community settings page by toggling off "Allow discussions on the community page."
