What is the difference between discussions and communities?

Dear all


I used to use

https://discussions.apple.com/

for all my questions.


And lately, I think I've been redirected to

https://communities.apple.com/


What is the difference?

...


And I also noticed that all my posts disappeared.

(I used to search post authored my me.)

But I can not find them anymore.

Did I miss something?

...


Kind regards

This is a recent bug, known to the Hosts/admins, but yet to be fixed (with no target date of which we are aware)


add " /welcome " to " discussions.apple.com " = https://discussions.apple.com/welcome = if you want the normal opening page of the English community


"communities." is the subdomain for all of the foreign language forums

"discussions." is only the English language forum


The siteware was changed to "homegrown" = developed from scratch by Apple 'engineers' = last December. Since that time, "lists" have become totally unreliable.
