[ROAST MY LESSON] Are the community members heard? When they make a post, do they get an answer? Can they hop on a call and get to talk instead of just listening? Communities are not about consuming content. It's not a podium where you just get heard by your members. It's a space for people to talk and be heard. And the least work the admins need to do for that to happen the more successful the community is. A great community is a place where members start and develop conversations by themselves without too much need to be prompted by the admins. And that can only happen if you develop a space where people get answers and engagment from what they post. So how do you do that? Ask simple questions, create challenges, offer feedback on what people are building. Prompt people to talk about themselves and engage with them. Give shoutouts, celebrate wins. Have clear rules to prevent spammers and scammers, but not rigid to the point of suffocating your member's creativity. Be a leader, not a guru. Don't just dump content and expect people to applaud you. A community is a place where everyone gets an opportunity to shine, not just you.
