Hello Fortnite Developers!
Today we have launched for creators the Early Access of Fortnite Communities. The initial release is really geared towards core functionality: setting up your community, your channels, and preparing your first posts.
On launch day, you’ll be able to create new posts or edit existing posts and send them to Fortnite!
We still have a lot of work planned to improve the product over time. Here’s a list of the features we are working to implement next:
- Pinned posts. Pin a post to the top of a channel so users will always see this post first.
- Turning off replies on a post. Not interested in engagement? Turn off replies.
- Community management roles. Invite moderators to help you keep your community channels on-topic.
- Cross-posting. Cross-post a single post to multiple channels to share the post without duplicating content. This can help to maximize engagement on the post and manage one single set of replies.
- Notifications across devices. Get notified of new comments and reactions on your posts, or new replies to you.
- Schedule posts in advance. Draft posts and send them through moderation ahead of time.
Let me know what other features you’re keen to see in the product next!
Regards,
Skye (they/them)
