New group url (roblox.com/community) Breaks social links

Recently the groups feature was renamed to “Communities”. With this rename, comes a new url, migrating from roblox.com/groups/(groupid) to roblox.com/communites/(groupid) . The “Social Links” section under experiences in the creator hub does not recognize the new url, forcing you to replace the “communities” in the url with “groups”. Not doing so gives a “The url must match the social media type.” Error.

TLDR: Rblox has not changed the whitelisted url for the “Roblox Group” social link type from /group/ to the new /communities/ type
Expected behavior

Using the new roblox,com/communities(groupid) url should not display any errors.

*Correction to title : The url should include “communities”, not “community”

Roblox redirects the group’s links.

Both seem to be working on my groups.

So roblox hasn’t changed the in-group social media whitelisted URL from /groups/ to the new URL yet. /communities/
I thought you were talking about the main group not redirecting.

I can STILL replicate this. You cannot use the /communities/ directory on your social link. You’re only allowed to use /groups/ without the name at the end of the URL, which makes it even more confusing.
