Stay whimsical! Community chat is out, come say hi to fellow Rabbitors! - Newsletter #6
Exciting news, we’re rolling out our community chat beta, which means you can soon live chat with others in your favorite communities! It’s the perfect way to connect, banter, and bond with fellow Rabbitors in real-time.
How community chats work
To start, only the main OddsRabbit community chat is live during the beta.
To join the room:
Open your chat screen (or click the chat dropdown).
Hit the Communities tab.
Once we’ve ironed out all the kinks, the feature will be rolled out to all communities, allowing users to chat live with others on their favorite interests.
Note:
- Community chats are muted by default, you will have to unmute them to receive notifications.
- Same platform rules apply to community chats
Other recent features and changes on OddsRabbit
- Notifications revamped - New cleaner notifications interface so you don’t miss your comments and replies
- Mobile improvements - Better mobile responsiveness and design on OddsRabbit.com
- Privacy settings - For creators and power users, you can now geo-block users from any country from seeing your posts.
And app v1.4.0 was recently released which contains all of these new features and more.

Tip of the week
“Creativity is like a muscle; you have to exercise it regularly. Creativity usually comes from a combination of ideas and thoughts; rarely does it come out of thin air. Things may whirl around, crashing about in your mind, but they will eventually form into creative ideas. Keep an eye out for them.” - posted by /u/Ravenmagpie

Enjoying the community so far, haven't had a chance to really dive in yet but one thing i've been confused about is why the left sidebar with all your communities and whatnot disappears when you view a post from the feed or enter a community? It makes it difficult to navigate the site.
That’s a fair point. The left sidebar in communities/post is currently reserved for the community’s left sidebar (which is nothing yet lol). But the idea is to let communities be able to customize it, show community tags, sub-topics etc.
I do see what you mean though hmm. Let me think about how I can improve it.
Gotcha, I just figured the community sidebar would be the right side one since thats where the community information is already.
Also, side note, it would be nice if the community title in the right sidebar actually linked back to the main community page so if you are coming from the trending feed or whatever and are reading comments and want to see more of the community you don't have to scroll all the way back to the top of the page to click the link there, you can just click the name on the right.
👀 let me play around with that and see how it feels lol. Might’ve been overthinking how much customization a community needs esp since there isn’t any for the left sidebar right now lol.
Love the idea on the right sidebar, thanks!
Any updates on community chat? Any set date?
Early next week! Looks like the community chats doesn't have too many problems, the only concern is giving communities proper moderation as it's an easy target for spam. Will require active moderators as well from those communities.
True
Enjoying this community so far. It’s great.
