The instant messaging app has been working on a dedicated Communities feature as well.

[{"selector":"#anim-5305f72a-312a-40ee-96ab-90e1ee50d96e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-833755f4-ed3e-42c6-a40b-01cb270aa196","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9b6237df-f814-4fe8-a3d9-3d0084fde0a9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 135.28619%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

This would allow members of multiple groups to be part of a single group as well

[{"selector":"#anim-dfa09495-478e-409b-a3ca-1457975c35bb [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5d718ac6-8507-4851-8470-c30e3836d021","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-21afccfb-66af-45f9-bd7d-bbfb167221be","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 158.06179%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
