What do you use to build a community?

Question

Bonus points if you share why you picked the tool 🙏🏼

Accepted Answer

@gavin_hammar agreed. Slack is a double edged 🗡. It feels like the "easiest" and "quickest" way to build a community but that doesn't mean it's the best. I belong to a handful of great ones but find myself leaving others after a few days.

Discord. 16,000 strong as of now.

Hi! Good question:)

At forYou(a mobile app for 360° skincare routine) We use Telegram, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube.

In our communities, we hold giveaways and shoot a lot of useful content on the topic of skin care.

We also promote subscriptions to our communities in the app itself. We promote in-app sharing and give them the opportunity to watch the whole story after sharing

We also involve our evangelists in the development of the app. We have an in-app translation department and our users are actively translating the app into new languages:) They really like being involved in the product and being able to influence it.

i've grown to truly love Slack and all that it's capable off, esp the Huddle feature!

Answer

It seems like everyone uses Slack already, so it's the path of least resistance for me.

Hey Sharath, Slyk.io is an awesome tool for building your community by rewarding members with your own coin for helping you grow. Members can redeem their $SHARATH coin (for example!) for collab opportunities with you, early access to your product, for supporting your launch on PH, or sharing on web2 platforms. They can also redeem the coin to join your coin-gated community on Discord, Slack, etc.

DM me if you want to chat more! 😊

Mayank Jain · Answer

Slack for sure. Not only its the path of least resistance for us and the members, but also gives a premium positioning.

I actually Love Discord. Maybe just because I was a gamer and most of the gamers community were on Discord or Twitch.

@srishti_maggo why shifting, any reason

Gavin Hammar · Answer

@stephenmruiz1 I agree that reducing friction is key. But there is a risk of Slack fatigue.

Srishti Maggo · Answer

I am running community on whatsapp but now planning to shift on discord.

Gavin Hammar · Answer

@stephenmruiz1 I'm curious, for the ones you stick with, what is it that makes you want to stay? Anything they do differently?

Gavin Hammar · Answer

We used a Facebook Group to build Sendible's community, but I would not recommend.
