New community features in the new Android app
Today’s new Android app (v3.5) makes it easier to manage your Google+ community from your phone or tablet. We’ve got lots more planned, but for starters, moderators can now:
- Promote, remove, or ban members from their community
- Restore or remove posts that were flagged as possible spam
Separately, and by popular demand: it’s now possible to attach clipboard links to posts, and there’s lots more room to read your notifications. Today’s update is rolling out now to Google Play (http://goo.gl/xaxMx), so give it a try, and let us know what you think!

Pooja Srinivas There should be the capabilty to display and promote communities on your profile. This feature is there on LinkedIn and is a major source for community/group discovery. Similarly you should be able to promote pages as well. I have put the former in the feed back menu but if you can pass a word it would be great
ReplyDeleteAble Lawrence If it's a public community created by a page, it shows up on the Page's profile. You can also add a link to the community or page in the about section of your personal profile.
ReplyDeletePooja Srinivas It should show up in the personal profile. If I knew this about pages, I would have created the communities from the page I had created earlier for the batch. Now the deed is done. It should be displayed on the right side along with the friends thumbnails.
ReplyDeleteAble Lawrence All you need to do is make the page the owner of the community. It will become an additional owner not replace you.
ReplyDeleteHere's what it looks like: https://plus.google.com/103224125397994162619/posts - I created the community from my personal profile and then added the page and upgraded it to owner.
Pooja Srinivas Will the page co-manager/administrator who is a co-owner be able to delete the page?
ReplyDeleteWhen the community feature was very new, I joined a community on Astrophysics and Cosmology, I liked it and being a passion of mine, worked hard to make it reach close to hundred members in less than two days. The next day I could not find the page. The owner had deleted it. His reply was that engagement was low!! as if you expect that much engagement on such a topic. Then when I created a replacement community "Gravitation and Cosmology", the response was more lukewarm and so far it is barely limping back to the size of my original labour. You can say that the guy who created the page can delete it but, you should have some safeguard on this. The episode was heartbreaking.
Pooja Srinivas I did it but I cant see the community in the page profile
ReplyDeleteIs it a public community? Link?
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, if you have other admins on the page, they could delete the community. But if you don't trust them, better to not give them admin access in the first place.
Found it. Joined the community but don't see the page under the moderator's list. Check if you upgraded it to owner.
ReplyDeletePooja Srinivas I am not testing my luck on my precious Gravitation. I wanted to display my alumni pages. The page and the community I experimented is a private one. My school batch. Now I have reverted it back. No risking
ReplyDeletePrivate communities wouldn't show on your page. Wouldn't be private then, would it? :-) But you can see with the Artistic Waves page, you can display a community on your +Page profile.
