At the moment I lead the two most active communities in Germany.

@Ryan Duncan

really wants to know what my tips are for this, so I wanted to share a few thoughts with you.

1) Growth

I noticed that you always need new members to get to the top of the rankings. This seems to be an important metric. So make sure your community continues to grow.

2) Interaction

The holy grail is interaction.

I could write a book about this, but here are 3 important thoughts.

1. I delete any post that doesn't provide a template for everyone else to share their opinions. So actually posts like this one, in which only one person gives their tips 🙈 #shit

2. The secret, in my opinion, lies in the first 10 to 40 members. They should be well chosen. These should be people who like to write long texts and like to communicate. Only after the culture is in place do I think about scaling.

3. A post should not be too specific so that many people can comment on it. You start a post superficially and go into depth in the comments. If a post is too complex, I ask the creator to recreate it or optimize it.

If my partner, whose community I lead, gets into the top 10 of Skool Games, I would be happy to go into all of this in more detail. He is currently in 15th place :-)

Forgive me if I couldn't go into that much depth.

P.S

I only run German communities, which makes things difficult.

The market is so much smaller. Maybe I'll start an international community at some point. ;-)
