Real-Time Community Feed
and Announcements

Keep every member of your samaj informed the moment something important happens. Mera Samaj's community feed gives leaders a powerful, WhatsApp-style broadcast channel — with announcements, polls, media posts, and instant push notifications reaching every phone simultaneously. No group chaos, no missed messages. अब हर खबर समाज तक पहुंचे — तुरंत और सुरक्षित।

Overview

What Is the Community Feed?

The Community Feed is the central nervous system of your samaj on Mera Samaj. Think of it as a private, moderated social timeline — similar to Facebook or WhatsApp, but built exclusively for your community with full administrative control.

Unlike a WhatsApp group where anyone can post at any hour, the Mera Samaj feed is organized, searchable, and role-managed. Important announcements from the president or secretary appear at the top and are pinned for visibility. Routine updates from members appear below. Every post is date-stamped, attributed, and permanently archived — so a new member joining six months later can scroll back and see the full community history.

For samaj leaders who manage communities of 500 to 50,000 members, the feed eliminates the communication chaos that plagues large WhatsApp groups. It creates a single source of truth that every member can rely on.

Capabilities

Key Features of the Community Feed

Every tool a samaj leader needs to communicate effectively with hundreds or thousands of members.

📢

Official Announcements

Create formatted announcements with rich text, images, and downloadable PDF attachments — ideal for AGM notices, donation appeals, and policy updates. Announcements are visually differentiated from casual posts so members never miss them.

📊

Community Polls

Run instant polls to gather member opinions — "Which venue for the annual function?", "Should we increase membership fees?" — and see real-time voting results. Polls close automatically at a set time and results are shared with all members.

📸

Photo & Video Posts

Share event highlights, festival celebrations, and community milestones through photo albums and video clips. The app compresses media automatically to save members' mobile data without sacrificing quality.

🗓️

Event Teasers & Reminders

Post event teasers on the feed with countdown timers, link directly to the event RSVP page, and send automated reminder posts 24 hours and 1 hour before the event starts — driving higher attendance.

📄

Document Sharing

Share PDFs, notices, financial reports, meeting minutes, and other documents directly in the feed. Members can view or download them on their phone without needing a separate email or file-sharing service.

🌐

Multi-Language Posts

Write posts in English, Hindi (हिंदी), or both. The app displays Devanagari script natively so older members who are more comfortable reading Hindi never miss important information.

How It Works

Posting an Announcement in 3 Simple Steps

Any community leader — regardless of technical experience — can publish a post in under two minutes.

01

Open the Community Feed

Launch the Mera Samaj app and tap the Feed icon on the bottom navigation. You will see all recent posts in your community in reverse-chronological order. The feed loads instantly — even on 3G connections.

02

Create Your Post

Tap the orange "+" button. Choose from Announcement, Poll, Event Reminder, Photo/Video, or Document. Add a headline, write your message, attach media, and set a target audience — all members, a specific sub-group, or members in a particular city.

03

Publish and Notify

Tap Publish to go live immediately, or schedule for a future time. Toggle "Send Push Notification" to alert every member's device instantly. Mera Samaj delivers push notifications with over 95% open rates — far higher than email.

For Leaders

Why Samaj Leaders Love the Community Feed

Before Mera Samaj

  • 150-member WhatsApp groups get filled with forwards and irrelevant messages
  • Important notices scroll up and get lost within hours
  • No record of past communications — members dispute decisions
  • Multiple admins share contradictory information in different groups
  • No way to know if members actually read the announcement

After Mera Samaj

  • One official feed that reaches all members instantly, regardless of group size
  • Pinned announcements stay visible until you unpin them
  • Complete post history with timestamps — full governance transparency
  • Role-based permissions ensure only authorised leaders can post officially
  • Read receipts and notification delivery reports for every announcement
"पहले WhatsApp group में important notice 2 घंटे में नीचे चली जाती थी। अब Mera Samaj के feed पर सब members को तुरंत notification मिलती है और post हमेशा ऊपर दिखती है।"

— Rajesh Sharma, Secretary, Sharma Samaj Hyderabad (3,200 members)

Frequently Asked Questions

Community Feed — Mera Samaj

Can community leaders schedule announcements in advance?

Yes. Mera Samaj allows administrators and moderators to draft announcements and schedule them to go live at a specific date and time. This is especially useful for event reminders, festival greetings, and important notices that need to reach members at the right moment.

Who can post on the community feed?

Administrators configure posting permissions. By default, only verified admins and moderators can make official announcements. Member posting can be enabled or restricted based on your community's governance model — ensuring the feed remains relevant and moderated at all times.

Can members react and comment on posts?

Absolutely. Members can react to posts using emoji reactions (like, love, celebrate) and leave comments. Admins can moderate or disable comments on individual posts if needed. This creates healthy two-way communication between leaders and members.

Does the community feed work without internet?

The Mera Samaj app caches recent feed content so members can read past posts even when offline. New posts and real-time updates require an internet connection. Push notifications ensure members are alerted the moment they come back online.
