What shipped
Community is now a campaign under Campaigns, always-on market listening, and threads no longer vanish from the Inbox once handled. Community shows the month's numbers, the places Ballad listens, and Waiting, Replied and Passed tabs.
The switches for where Ballad listens moved here from Settings. Marking a thread "I replied" saves the comment link and what you posted. Replies are counted hourly from HN, and site links in copied replies are tracked per thread for visits and signups. Passed counts only threads you were actually shown.
What changed and how it works
If you reply to the community threads Ballad brings back, a few things work differently now. The switches for the places Ballad listens moved from Settings into Community, so if you already use it, turn sources on or off there.
Marking a thread "I replied" saves the comment link and what you posted. Replies on HN are counted hourly. Site links in replies you copy are tracked per thread for visits and signups. Passed counts only threads you were actually shown.
Ballad never posts into a community for you. You post the reply yourself.
