The community guidelines aren't a legal document, so it's not surprising not every term used therein is first defined. It would also make them 20x longer, making them even less likely to be read.
Here's what's in the guidelines today:

Members who have other members on their Ignore list should not start community/group/game/party/holiday threads, because it would limit who could post to such a thread; such members should ask a community support team member to start the thread instead.

A community thread is any thread where the OP starts it with the seeming purpose is to elicit an ongoing, reply-to-my-reply type of thread. Any type of daily or weekly check-in thread, anything that is meant to be ongoing and welcoming of all members' input to keep it going.
A community thread is NOT a thread where the OP is sharing their personal situation or experience, and asks what others think, or wants feedback from others about how they might see the situation or experience, or asks for emotional support for their situation.
