Absolutely, Salesforce Communities is perfect for this. The key feature you're looking for is Chatter. It's Salesforce's collaboration tool that can be set up in your community for discussions.

Here are the steps:

  1. Start by going to your Salesforce Community Management.
  2. Click on Administration -> Pages.
  3. Edit the page where you want the Chatter to be.
  4. Drag and drop the "Chatter Publisher" and "Chatter Feed" components where you want them to be on your page.

Now, your community members can start discussions, post comments, and like or share posts. Remember to set the right permissions so your customers can only see what they're supposed to!
