Embracing Change: Introducing "Communities" for Subcommunities! 🌟
Greetings, dear members of the 7 Cups community!
I hope this message finds you well and thriving. I’m excited to share a significant update that reflects the evolution of our platform and the changes we've been working on diligently over the last few months. Starting today, we're transitioning from using the term "subcommunities" to "Communities."
Embracing "Communities" - A Fresh Perspective
As part of our ongoing commitment to provide you with the best experience, we've decided to embrace a term that encapsulates the essence of unity, connection, and shared purpose. The shift to "Communities" signifies a broader, more inclusive outlook that aligns with the values we hold dear.
Understanding the Change
What exactly does this mean? When you hear "Communities," think of the diverse subcommunities that have always been a vital part of our platform. Whether it's a group centered around a specific topic, interest, or support area, these are the vibrant "Communities" that you've been a part of.
Reflecting Recent Changes
This shift to "Communities" also coincides with the recent updates we've made to our forum pages. Our goal has been to create an environment that's user-friendly, intuitive, and fosters even more meaningful connections among our members. We're excited about these changes and believe they align perfectly with the spirit of "Communities."
*New change as of September 6th, 2023: The subcommunities center has now been renamed to Communities Center and the subcommunity leaders room had been renamed to Community Leaders room on both the adult and teen side.
Join Us in Embracing "Communities"
We invite you to join us on this exciting journey as we celebrate "Communities" that empower us to connect, learn, and support each other. Help us spread the word by sharing this post with your fellow members and let's continue building the wonderful tapestry of our community together.

Thank you for the update! I definitely like this change 🙂 With newer members/listeners, I do get asked a lot what sub communities means! I think that this change will help lessen the confusion a little
@CheeryMango I have changed my terminology talking about the old subcommunities as their own community. I think it is more inclusive of people.
A great change.
@CheeryMango
A deeper sense of belonging and collective responsibility to foster a welcoming, supportive and encouraging space for each other is certainly everything 7 cups is about. Thank you for the announcement! 💗
@CheeryMango
Wonderful! Welcome Communities! 🎉
Thank you for this thoughtful update!
@CheeryMango So if anyone still uses the term "subcommunities" they will get a warning in their inbox, or what? I've always thought of the various gatherings in here as subcommunities, because they are all parts of the total community we call 7Cups.
@slowdecline48
Woah, I'm glad someone mentioned this, as I thought and feel the same way as you!
Like many little beautiful parts (different sub-communities) coming together to form a greater more beautiful whole (the entire 7 cups community)~ it made a lot of sense to me too, and perhaps to those who earlier thought of calling them "sub-communities". 💗
It's made more simple now, in a way, just referring to it as communities!
Super understandable to take time in getting accustomed to the changes though, specially for something we are more habitual to. Hopefully no one's sending out warnings for adding an extra "sub" lol!
@CheeryMango
I love the name change, Yet how is that going to affect the Forum posting for Forum Leaders and the post by our mentors?
I hope this will cut down on some confusion once people get used to the switch!
@CheeryMango thank you for updating us, and thank you for all you do <3
