Online Community
Don't lose your community to Slack and Discord
With a 24-hour news cycle, communities want to share and respond to the latest as it happens. Give your community a platform to chat and share rich media about the topics that matter most to them when they matter most. Be the community where all the relevant conversations happen.
Never fear a toxic community for your in-app messaging. With Sendbird’s user-to-user and other moderation tools, your community can build and share positive experiences that create trust in your platform and app.
As commmunities scale, guarantee your users a place to belong by empowering them to start conversations that matter. Build a group channel for every interest and type of content imaginable. Then grow your community with quality interactions in every conversation at once.
Sendbird’s in-app interaction platform enables you to grow intimate communities with topic-based group chat, and voice & video calls. That’s why vibrant communities like Reddit, Dream11 and Meetup connect users with Sendbird.

Reddit, the 3rd most visited website in the U.S., partnered with Sendbird to provide direct messaging and Super Group Chat for subreddits on its mobile applications and the web. By creating a new kind of real-time communication, Reddit chat successfully grew person-to-person and real-time user engagement.
With real-time interactions, your community members can share any media or meme when the impulse strikes. Notifications, typing indicators and friend lists establish presence and keep people glued into the moments that matter.
