Beehiiv Adds Subscriber Discussion Forums With Paid-Tier Gating

Beehiiv launched a Community feature on July 16, 2026, letting newsletter creators host subscriber discussion forums on-platform rather than routing readers to Discord or Slack. Creators can gate chatroom access behind paid membership tiers. Newsletter platforms have operated on a one-to-many broadcast model; this adds a two-way engagement layer. Adoption remains the open question.
