Missing Piece to SharePoint Communication Sites
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but there seems to be a missing piece to SharePoint "Communication" sites. Well, they certainly have their place because they don't require the complexity of an M365 ...
Hughes818 sorry but I don't know what you mean by "all of that extra work": it takes 2 seconds to turn on the comments and about 10 to add the Yammer conversations web part. OK Having a form, flow and JSON formatting for questions does take a few more minutes, even if you are very familiar with the method, but none of it takes very much time at all. And sometimes the effort is worth it because you learn something new.
Yammer doesn't require users to be in an M365 group, they just have to be in your organisation.

Sure...I understand...but I'm putting myself in the shoes of the average end user that I interact with. In my opinion, if it is not intuitive enough that it causes them to reach out to administrators to set that up, then natively...it needs some improvement. I also don't consider Yammer a valid option in this case. If it were...yes that would be very easy.
Hughes818 surely the average end user is only going to read the news item or page content and add their comments; they don't have to turn on comments or add web parts, only the publishers/admins do. Something makes me think you are over-complicating this.

Hughes818 well if site owners don't know what they're doing that's a training issue. I can't solve that and, to be honest, nor can Microsoft really.
