What's a 'Communal' Confluence Cloud space?

[John Paz]

Context

I noticed this filter option when browsing the spaces in my company's Confluence Cloud instance. Example in the picture below.

I can't find much about this specifically, and the rather haphazard way space categories have been done means I can't really trust using them to accurately sort things; there are personal spaces that appear with non-personal, and many don't have categories at all.

The problem I'm trying to solve

I just want to view all the spaces that are not personal spaces. Filtering that way seems like it should be easy, but has proven a bit elusive, at least in any easily verifiable way.

The 'Communal' filter option feels like it wants to be my answer, but I can't easily check that (at least not this late on a Friday).

So I put the question to you, Community.

Hello @John Paz 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

According to a comment on the Confluence article A Refreshed Space Directory for Confluence Cloud the "Communal" filter functions the same as the previous "Site" filter to show non-personal spaces.

Thank you! Hope this info makes it into the proper documentation one day!
