okay so... it appears having an open link is a bad idea. won't be doing that again. will figure out a better way another time and do manual invites instead.

happy weekend :)

Do any folks have any experience using Flarum?

Base

BM! Just grabbed my /ethdenver ticket, and I’m beyond excited to meet all the amazing @base Builders IRL next month!

If you’re heading to Denver & want to get more involved with The Builder Network, I’d love to meet you! But this time, I’d like to try something different and dedicate some focused time just for you.

Send me a DM with:
- Brief info about what you’re building
- How you’d like to collaborate with The Builder Network
- Your availability & email address

I’ll get back to you once my schedule is clear and schedule some time to chat. 
Can’t wait!

another why @statuette continues to impress!

growth

Airdrops were originally meant to identify & reward long term contributors of a community. However, in the last couple of years, communities have started leveraging it to boost vanity metrics + drive superficial contributions. 

Users on the other hand have started to game it with sybil attacks for e.g., purely with the purpose of short term gains. 

So basically airdrop became a means to drive hype without considering long term implications of the same. 

A lot needs to be thought about wrt airdrops - how long to drive pre token buzz, who to reward, who not to reward, what contributions to reward with, what should the rewards look like, do you even have PMF before doing the airdrop. 

Its essentially a challenge of intelligent incentive distribution.

it's not just dropping the coin. it's about who gets the drop for what reason and who will this impact your future.

would you consider community as part of marketing?

Writers

" What little Momo could do like no one else was: listening. This is nothing special, some readers will say, everyone can listen. But this is a mistake. Very few people can really listen." 

Written 50 years ago this has only become more true. A theme I thought about a lot over the change of years.

While other social networks are hyperoptimizing the "screaming into the void" experience, Farcaster builds communities that bleed into real-life connections.

I haven't in-person met as many online-people since early the ~2009 era of Twitter and SXSW. I've missed this.

Perhaps this is how crypto wins.

well said 🙌

i was still in school during the internet era mentioned below, but glad to be part of the new tech wave 🤝 irl communities experience now

Looking for ideas. We have an Ai agent for discord (soon telegram). It's a serious bot giving serious answers to members. We're getting questions for engagement. So I'm wondering how to use what we have and turn it into a game? Any ideas?

What we have for context: A bot that knows everything about your community. It answers questions when called (or can do it automatically)



I know couple of companies trying to hire lead community managers ⭐️ feel free to comment here

You think we slow down before the holidays? Never! We got one more AMA for you. On Friday @0xalgedi is gonna take time out to answer your questions. And we got rewards for those who contribute questions.

Oxalgedi is CMO at /murmur (check it out!): they are the lone non-tech voice in a dev world, turning code into conversation. Movie buff navigating life like an unpredictable screenplay, one plot twist at a time. - timeline checks out. 

Ask your question by replying to this post. Can't reply? Become a member.

at /growth we have this week @0xalgedi answering questions. They are CMO of murmur and hosting the channel. Also a film buff (their timeline checks out). Would love to see your questions => marketing 🤝 community

Just reply to the quoted cast

All group chats eventually degrade to either silence, spam, or ads

Strong disagree. Silence should be temporary. People come together in bursts.

daos

We're launching a reputation NFT that measures a person's social awareness of what's going on in the DAO. This is important! If people only post gm, they get a low score

--> We're looking for DAOs that are interested to try out this feature. If you like to know more, dm me. 

About the reputation score: We are using social network analysis, specifically closeness centrality, to measure how much the person knows about what's going on inside the community. The score is onchain and can be integrated into your snapshot voting strategy

I've collected above 100 resources about community building and growth. You can get access to a selection on the following topics via the frame below:
1. quests/rewards: As this is a hot topic in crypto (even though my timeline changed to coins and marketing)
2. growth: well, similar to (1). It's all about numbers go up (without breaking the culture)
3. Personal community building stories: My fav. There is no learning without stories.

icebreaker

Bots beware. 

qBuilders can now feather you.

This is Icebreaker's first negative endorsement, meant to indicate the recipient is believed to be inauthentic.

qBuilders, please use wisely.

thinking of all the jobs scams this summer, will be great to warn communities of phishing and predatory accounts with this!

Quick lessons from running podcast for our community
- find your niche as there are many podcasts out there ; for us it was the format ( rapid fire q to marketers + deep dives)

- get the audio video set up right ( still a WIP but I overlooked it a lot)

- focus on distribution explicitly : social media snippets, guest engagement, in built loops to get shoutouts for other companies
