View submission: Deprecating community chat rooms
For some subreddits, their chat rooms are a major part of their communities' life. We also have a subreddit that relies heavily on chat rooms to actually do what it's been created for (providing translations for which setting up live discussion posts on the sub itself is an overkill). Features such as the ability to lock and unlock the rooms, and having a separate tab to keep all those rooms organized and in one place will be very missed; hope to see those being available in some form or another later on.
How will these new transitioned Direct chats work in terms of getting new members? Will we as mods and hosts have to add users manually, or will there still be a shareable link so users can join themselves?

Shareable links for group chats is a great idea and something we have been thinking about.
However for the immediate future we will be focusing on quality and safety improvements on 1:1 chat.
