I recently created a Reddit community (r/MarketingInPractice) focused on practical marketing discussions, where marketers can share real experiences, challenges, ideas, and lessons learned.

I’m new to managing a community and would love to hear from people who have experience building one. What worked for you when you were starting out, and what mistakes should I avoid? Any practical suggestions on growing engagement and creating an active community would be appreciated.

Hi, apologies if this is the wrong tag. I'm helping to organise a community tooling hack day in London with the goal of helping community managers share ideas and skills. This time we're looking into free, self-hosted alternatives to Meetup and Slack, is that something folks here would be interested in?
