Club Opens Posting to All Users, Adds Follows and Likes in Summer Update

1 articles · Updated · Win.gg · Aug 10

Summary

  • Club’s summer update lets regular users publish their own posts for the first time, expanding a platform that had largely limited user activity to DMs, comments and communities.
  • The shift also allows users to follow other users and lets both creators and users like posts and comments, broadening interaction beyond the creator-fan model Club launched with.
  • Club still keeps a creator-first filter: only approved creator posts appear in the FYP, while regular users’ posts show up in followers’ feeds.
  • The changes build on Club’s April 2026 launch of an X-communities alternative and its earlier rollout of ClubCash, signaling a push to grow engagement and compete more directly as a full social platform.
