Community for the Event App
In the app, attendees can access the community section from the side menu or quick links.
Once it is open, a popup will appear to allow them to follow some interesting community groups.
All community groups will appear if posts are public. If posts are private, then private posts will only be visible to those who are added to that community group.
Attendees can open and start posting in any of the community groups.
All posts will appear, allowing attendees to react to and comment on each other's posts. Additionally, they can enable the bell icon in the settings to receive notifications for that community post.
