Amazon’s livestreaming platform Twitch is introducing Communities, a new way to discover content and reach the right audiences on the site.

The new directory — an open beta test — will help users find and create content that is native to the way they identify themselves, with categories that include speedrunning, retro gaming, cosplaying, and cooking. Twitch says this new feature should be live within the next 15 minutes to half-an-hour.
