Basically it's to say if you're an official brand/company/famous person/etc to help people know this is run by the "official" people. For example, we have s really large Game of Thrones community that is great, but it's not officially sanctioned by or run by HBO/GRRM. It's just a fan-made community.
Things that are just topic based can't be verified, because no one "owns" that topic to be the official person that runs it.
What's the cutoff for large? Is there set guidelines that once we have X subscribers on YouTube or X followers on Twitter? Or is it a case by case matter. PS: Twitter verification is now open to all, you just have to prove you are who you say you are. No guarantee on how fast it'll be approved though.
I just talked to @greenie and it turns out coms based off popular subreddits can't be verified. It's limited to famous people/content creators. Sorry for giving you false info 😓.
And sorry, I have no idea what the guidelines are when it comes to deciding if someone is a popular content creator.
From my understanding its still being worked out in details, but its sorted like Twitter verified. They are people or organizations with large followings, and the verification is to show they are who they say they are.

There's two ways (that I know of) for a community to be verified.
If you have a large community on another site and you migrate it over to imzy
If you're a popular content creator and you make a community for your content (e.g. /xplain)

I'd also like to know more about this!
