RE: You Cross Post... "Me, Unfollow"
Exactly.. some people act like the feed is gone and panic.
Nothing is gone. It is all there as it was. Communities just give extra by sorting the content (or not). Just like tags.
I'd say they don't basically do the same thing as tags because most of the people now post in the most upvoted communities, so communities as tags are not that representative. To some extent though they do facilitate better engagement and finding people alike. For example photography dedicated communities I guess succeed very well in doing that.
Not exactly the same, but give the extra search option (or categorizing post if not posted in those general communities, but thematic ones) besides the tags that still work as they did before. Nothing was taken away.
