Anonymous Sharing not working with Communication sites
Already made a Service Request in my Admin Center because the same problem is in my tenant. Would like to use the really nice Communication Sites - but with this "feature" they're not usable. The Communication Sites are also not visible in SP Admin Center.
Answer of the MS Support: Communication Sites are still in a developement Status and they cannot support until they're rolled out official to all customers.
Found this Info in the Newscenter:
Q. Can I use a communication site in an extranet scenario with external users?
A. Yes, communication sites will support external users for extranet use cases. Initially, Office 365 admins would need to enable it at the site level via PowerShell. We are working on the admin user interface to enable external sharing in a similar fashion as is done today for team sites.
I can't enable that in my tenant with powershell. I got this error when trying to do that:
Get-SPOSite https://mytenant.sharepoint.com/sites/communitysite | set-sposite -SharingCapability ExternalUserAndGuestSharing
set-sposite : SPOTenantSiteCollectionProvider::SetSiteProperties - Site https://mytenant.sharepoint.com/sites/communitysite not found in Grid, but TAPS_Sites_UseSharePoint flight in ONReverting to GM-based set-sposite (old) behavior for now
Note that same command works perfectly with team sites.
Have you checked the Lockdown site (collection?) feature?
This feature was enabled on our publishing sites and prevented the anonymous sharing.
Yes, it's disabled.

I get the same error on every tenant I've tried it on.
