Meta Launches “Forum”, a Reddit-Style App

Meta Platforms

has quietly launched a new standalone app called “Forum”,

designed to compete with Reddit-like community discussion platforms.

—

The app is built around Facebook Groups,

but offers a separate space

for deeper discussions, real answers, and community conversations.

—

Users can browse posts from their groups,

discover new communities,

and interact in a feed focused only on discussions,

without the usual Facebook main timeline noise.

—

A key feature is an AI-powered “Ask” tab,

which summarizes answers from group discussions

and helps users find relevant information faster.

—

The app also includes tools for group admins,

helping them manage and moderate communities more easily.

—

In summary

Meta’s Forum app marks a new attempt

to strengthen community-based social networking,

while directly challenging Reddit’s discussion model.
