Communities & Channels
Discord's structure meets WhatsApp's simplicity — groups up to 200,000 with channels, broadcasts, and admin tools.
Groups up to 200k
Buzz communities scale from a small club of 20 to a movement of 200,000 — without the platform buckling under the load. Real-time messaging, media sharing, and reactions all work at scale. Whether you are running a local neighbourhood group or a global fan community, the experience stays fast and responsive.
Public & private channels
Organise your community with dedicated channels for different topics, teams, or purposes. Public channels are visible to all members; private channels are invite-only for sensitive discussions. Each channel has its own message history, pinned messages, and member list, keeping conversations focused instead of drowning in a single noisy thread.
Broadcasts with reactions
Send one-way announcements to your entire community or specific channels, with members able to react but not reply — keeping important updates visible without being buried by responses. Reactions give you instant feedback on how your message landed. Perfect for product launches, event announcements, policy updates, or weekly digests.
Polls & engagement
Run polls directly within any channel to gather opinions, make group decisions, or simply engage your community. Polls support multiple choice, single choice, and anonymous voting. Results update in real time, and you can set deadlines to keep decisions moving. Combined with reactions and threaded replies, Buzz gives communities the engagement tools they need.
Why communities need more than group chats
Traditional group chats break down past a few dozen members. Important messages disappear in a flood of replies, new members cannot find context, and there is no way to separate announcements from casual conversation. Communities on Buzz solve this with structure — channels create clear spaces for different topics, roles define who can post where, and pinned messages keep essential information visible. It is the organisation of Discord combined with the familiar, mobile-first simplicity of a messaging app.
Channels that keep conversations focused
Every community has multiple conversations happening at once — event planning, general discussion, technical support, off-topic banter. Channels let you give each topic its own space with its own rules. Admins can create, rename, archive, and reorder channels as the community evolves. Members choose which channels to follow and receive notifications from, reducing noise and making sure they only see what matters to them. Private channels add a layer for leadership discussions, moderation, or sensitive topics.
Broadcasts that actually engage
Most broadcast tools are one-directional dead ends — you send a message, and it vanishes into the void with no way to gauge reception. Buzz broadcasts include reaction support, so you can see at a glance whether your community is excited, confused, or indifferent. You can broadcast to the entire community or target specific channels. Schedule broadcasts in advance for product launches or time-sensitive announcements. Track read receipts and reaction analytics to understand engagement without intrusive tracking.
Admin tools for any size
Managing a community of 200,000 requires different tools than managing a group of 20. Buzz provides a graduated set of admin capabilities — from simple member management for small groups to role-based permissions, moderation queues, auto-moderation rules, and audit logs for large communities. Admins can appoint moderators with specific permissions, set channel-level posting rules, and manage join requests. All admin actions are logged for transparency, and moderation tools work at the metadata level without requiring access to decrypted message content.
