Facebook Group Admins Can Now Pin Comments In Discussion Threads

Facebook has made a small, but much-requested update that allows Group admins to pin certain comments in discussion threads.

Groups have become a major part of the Facebook experience, and they keep many users engaged in ‘highly meaningful’ communities on the platform. Therefore, Facebook is constantly investing more and more resources into making them better and easier for their admins to manage their communities.

Facebook wants to keep the conversation going in Groups. The ability for admins to pin comments in discussion threads really encourages further engagement and interaction.
