A computer-implemented method comprising:
- in an online community system, storing, using a digital computing device, digital communication data representing a first digital conversation comprising online community posts of two or more digital accounts;
- receiving, at the digital computing device, from a first computing device associated with a first digital account of one or more digital accounts, a request to generate a digital communication group;
- determining, by the digital computing device, a first subset of the two or more digital accounts to associate with the digital communication group based on the online community posts;
- creating and storing the digital communication group in association with a name of the digital communication group and account identifiers of each of the digital accounts in the first sub set;
- providing, by the digital computing device, access to the digital communication group to a particular digital accounts in the first subset of the one or more digital accounts.
