Question: Does anyone know what's going on?
I thought it was only a matter of time before all Communities would be domain restricted, but it appears that might not be the case.
Does anyone have any clarity on the future status of Communities such as this one?

I'm pretty surprised to find a switch here for posting either publicly or company internal.

An interesting hiccup. I can include hot links in replies but if the site is also displayed below, I get a "something went wrong" notification instead. All seems normal after reply is delivered.

But shouldn't companies be able to interact, not just in silos?

+Cade Roux, agreed.
If the price of admission to the world of Google Communities is a G-Suite account ($10/month), I can see how that can be a real incentive for for all sorts of people to subscribe. But that only works if Google Communities aren't otherwise a domain restricted "gated community," or "walled garden."
Also, with the closing of the consumer GPlus, think of all the excess capacity Google now has. Lot's of room to expand.

Yeah, I'd always assumed they'd make G+ a Slack competitor, but maybe it's going to be more of a business networking site...like a Slack/LinkedIn hybrid or something.

Communities will not suddenly become domain restricted, according to the FAQs. They are all phrased such that interdomain communication is still allowed. That said, they have laid out a path for making all Communities request-to-join instead of open join, and later by-invite-only.

+Todd Vierling, good to know.
Thank you for doing the research.

It sounds like we should think of G+ as a conference center with a lot of break-out spaces. But that does mean there should be larger areas where essentially everyone gets an invite, and then those conversations can lead to invitations to smaller spaces.

So far you have the option of outside of your domain
