One question I hope is addressed in the AMA—when can Microsoft add the functionality in Yammer/Engage to allow users to make a post that can appear in and is live synced between multiple community feeds? There are many use cases where this would be beneficial. For example, in a professional service firm that has communities devoted to different consulting practice areas along with communities devoted to particular industry sectors, users often have questions that touch on topics covered by several communities and thus want to reach members of all these communities. Having to manually share a post made in one community to other relevant communities is administratively burdensome, and the bigger problem is that this action creates several different disparate threads for the same question, none of which are synced. This is a huge limitation of the Yammer app in organizations wanting to use it for knowledge sharing.
Microsoft- Thanks for the update Steve. I highly encourage Microsoft to put effort to getting this feature added. This is one of the biggest frustrations we have as a professional service firm using Yammer as a core part of our knowledge management system. We migrated from a product called Aurea Social (formerly Newsgater) in 2022 when we moved from an on premise SharePoint 2013 setup to SharePoint online (Aurea Social only works on premise). Newsgater had this feature in their enterprise social app back in 2012 and it was one of the reasons we chose them over Yammer back then.
