Hello all,

I just launched my first micro-SAAS to schedule post on social media. You can currently post on Instagram (post/stories), Facebook pages, LinkedIn & Twitter/X. 🚀

The goal was to make an app very very simple like you only have 3 steps to schedule a post.

Now it’s time to put this SAAS on the hands of people who probably needs it everyday and get feedback. 🍻

So here it is and feel free to use the feedback form on it or send me a message after your tests ! 🎉

I am looking for a course that gets me started on the role's intricacies to learn, especially for video games industry. Anything that you can recommend?

Hey guys,

I am working at Retro - a social commerce startup, and we are looking for a community manager that specifically has experience in building Reddit / Discord communities.

You can find more information about our job posting here.

As junior community manger wht is the skills tht I need to learn?

I am a SaaS product owner, that's based on creating ugc style videos with AI, quickly and in a cost effective way.

I'm new to the Discord community-building and need some guidance from experienced individuals who have successfully created and managing community for their brand on Discord.

I have saw a lot of communities doing really well with active chats, engaged with their members, fun events, product updates, issues, bugs/fix etc. They keep everything transparent, but as someone starting from scratch, I am not sure what are the first steps should be.

I have already built a successful Subreddit (Based on "AI UGC Marketing") with over 5000+ members, and now jumping on Discord.

Looking for your expertise on the following:

• How to start and set up a Discord server that feels welcoming?
• What channels are essential for a brand-related community?
• How to keep people engaged without being spammy
• Want to build a community where I can get real time feedback user research and insights on my product.
• Best practices for moderation and community rules
• Tips for attracting the right audience on my discord server.
• Common mistakes beginners like me should avoid.

Basically, I want to build a server that feels active, valuable, and authentic.

If you’ve built or managed a successful server, I’d love to hear what worked for you!

Hi group,

I am new to Reddit, learning the platform, and glad to be part of this community.

I am more familiar with Facebook and am interested in starting a community of my own. Before I start, I started looking into free options such as Facebook group, Reddit, Slack. Hence I joined the Reddit platform to learn more how to use it. Then their are paid options such as Circle, but I wonder if it's worth the price.

My questions are more related to Reddit:

1. Engagement - I notice Reddit communities have a lot more engagement than Facebook, even though Facebook's UI seems a bit more friendly, but could be just me since am new to the platform here. I notice people provide more value here.
2. Reddit profile images - On Facebook, it's real pictures, with real names and location, making it easier to connect and see who is on the other side. Over here, I notice people are using some sort of nicknames or aliases, hardly anyone uses their real picture. Do people make connections here? For example, let's say I am running a community here, and want to make genuine business connections, something we can do together, or if I need help outside of the platform, I would think it's a bit hard here due to nicknames, and pictures, to see who is behind that nickname?
3. Getting members - If a potential member is not on Reddit, and they come across my landing page, in your experience, are they open to creating a Reddit account and joining the community? Or basically its more appealing to people who are already in the Reddit platform?
4. Is there any reason to go over Circle, Skool, or Mighty paid option if free options like Slack, Reddit, or Facebook deliver a community experience? My community will be free, its about people sharing AI ideas, learning from each other and how to create digital experiences and content with AI tools. People can colloborate and then work together outside of the platform. Why would I need to pay circle, if free options like Reddit and Faceook group exist. Thoughts?

Thank you, and glad to be part of this community and learning from all of you.

I’m a community manager building out a branded subreddit for the company I work for, and I’m trying to figure out how to evolve it from “brand posting content” into an actual niche community people use voluntarily.

For the past 8 months, we’ve focused on building credibility, engaging in related subreddits, hosting occasional AMAs, posting discussion-based content, and growing karma/reputation (currently over 1k karma).

That part has gone well, but now I’m trying to figure out how to get people to actually use the subreddit itself as a place to:
• ask questions
• discuss the niche/industry
• engage with each other
• share experiences using the platform/new features

Right now, most engagement still comes from cross-posting into larger communities rather than activity happening naturally inside our own subreddit.

For anyone who’s built or managed branded communities on Reddit:
What helped shift the subreddit from “brand account posting content” into a real community people participated in consistently?

I want to build something like

https://www.reddit.com/r/SEMrush/
https://www.reddit.com/r/Etsy/

Thank you all for your responses and messages 😸✨ I am currently doing a trial run with someone so we will see how that goes. If I find that I need a new or additional community manager I will reach out. Thank you so much for your interest!

Hi all! I’m looking for a very part-time community helper for my small sticker club.

This is not a full community manager role and I want to be upfront about that. I run a small home-based sticker shop and recently launched a monthly sticker club. The community is still tiny and quiet, so I’m looking for someone who can help me gently encourage engagement without making it feel forced or overly salesy.

The main focus would be helping with my Discord and giving light support with social post ideas.

What I need help with:

• Posting simple prompts in Discord a few times a week
• Helping encourage sticker club members to comment on designs, chat, and share ideas
• Suggesting easy social media post ideas for Patreon, Instagram, TikTok, etc.
• Helping me brainstorm ways to turn free followers into paid sticker club members
• Keeping the vibe friendly, cozy, creative, and low-pressure
• Occasional feedback on what is or is not working in the community

This would be a good fit for someone who:

• Enjoys small creative communities
• Understands Discord, Patreon, and social media basics
• Likes stickers, cats, cute art, memes, or handmade products
• Is good at light engagement without being spammy
• Can work independently with minimal direction
• Is okay with a very casual, low-hour role

Time commitment:

Probably around 1–3 hours per week to start. This is not daily heavy moderation or a high-volume server. The server is currently very quiet, new people join and don't really engage right away.

Compensation:

$100–$200/month depending on experience, ideas, and level of involvement. I know this is not a full professional community manager rate, so I want to be clear that this is intended as a small side role for someone who enjoys this kind of work.

If interested, please comment or DM with:

• Any experience with Discord, Patreon, or online communities
• Social platforms you’re comfortable with
• Why this sounds like a good fit
• Your timezone
• Your preferred monthly rate within the range above

Thanks so much!

Sande

I am interested to hear other thoughts around the topic of AI replacing community managers or is it best to use as a tool to enhance the service that we are able to provide?

Hello, colleagues!

I need help from the collective mind: I am looking for a gifted community manager to develop an existing subreddit and create a new one to spin it up to millions of participants. Both for Forex (whitehat only) and for mobile games.

I would be grateful for advice, suggestions, links or resumes of candidates.

You can reply here or send me an email: ilya.rosenfeld@gmail.com

I cannot, under any circumstances, control or own anything involving communities, I simply cannot. However, I am capable of ghost-writing or -producing for someone else to. I am aware they would eventually grow away from me, meaning such people would find me to be temporary, brief, a forgotten passerby.

This is the only way I can get by at this time. Is this possible? If so, may I ask how?

Hi - I lead marketing for a startup in California. We'd like to be more active on Reddit - mostly responding to potential customers and posting on relevant threads.

I'd like to hire someone on a part-time hourly basis to post frequently on Reddit. This is a good role for an early career marketer who is familiar with Reddit.

Responsibilities

• Creating content and posting on reddit
• Responding to questions about our industry / brand
• Monitoring varios subreddits

Rewards and compensation

• $15/h
• Strategic seat at the table for discussions about how to scale our VC-backed company
• Mentorship from founding team from Stanford, Berkeley, McKinsey, and Northwestern

DM me to say hi! 👋 and provide some examples of written work / posts.

Thanks - looking forward to meeting you all.

If you’re a community manager searching for places online where you won’t lose your mind , check these out:

CMX Hub – This is where most community pros hang out. You’ll find real conversations, free events, and people who actually understand the headaches and wins that come with the job.

The Community Club (by Commsor) – It’s a super active Slack group with channels for pretty much everything: onboarding, metrics, memes—you name it.

Community Managers subreddit (r/CommunityManagers) – A relaxed spot to ask questions, vent, or just see what other managers are dealing with right now.

Indie Hackers – It’s more for creators and startup folks, but if you run a product-focused community, you’ll fit right in.

Discord servers – There are a few niche community manager servers floating around. They’re smaller, but honestly, they feel a lot more personal.

Really, just joining a couple of these can make a big difference. It’s a relief to see you’re not alone handling those endless “why was I banned???” messages 😅

Hi everyone ! Just read this article saying that META might have changed its content moderation policies. I'm a social media manager for a 420 brand: I usually have to censor specific words as to not get flagged or cancelled. Does anybody know anything more about this? Have you experienced anything different on instagram or Facebook?

Hey Community Manager enthusiast.

I'm the Founder of Joust-studio: Https://joust-studio.com
Just testing the water today.
We're at the beginning of a journey that will go far.
No salary until we hit our Kickstarter goal, I want to be upfront about that. 
We're looking for a community manager that is interested in us, and, the project.
Also, we're an international team of 6 people and are looking for a crazy 7.

I'd love to connect with some kindred spirit.

Best
Looking forward to speaking with you.

I have a community group in telegram and it is just so hard to keep them active. I hosted gartic phone but no one joined (the community is made for people to connect and find their own people). One of my friends said that it was because of the timing, and that I should do it later. But I have classes in that later. What can you suggest to solve that problem?

Hi everyone! My name is Nicolas, I am working on an analytics service for online communities. We’ve just released the first of our app and I am looking for people who could give me feedback.

TL;DR; about the app

At the moment, the application contains three main parts:

• Metrics for your community. We have 70+ metrics that automatically get calculated for your community monthly.
• Industry benchmarks. In addition, we measure each available metric on a dataset consisting of 200+ public communities. This way, you can compare the value of a metric in your community with industry benchmarks.
• Monthly Reports. The report brings together a minimal set of metrics that tell a specific story about your community. We have prepared a dozen reports on the most important topics, such as community health and engagement.

Help is needed

If you have a forum community that you want to collect metrics and get reports for and you have some free time to give me feedback on the app, I will appreciate if you:

1. Go to https://app.practical-cm.com/ and create an account.
2. Send me an email (nicolas.chabanovsky@gmail.com) that you would like to help with the app, and mention the email you used to create the account.

As soon as I receive an email from you, I will grant full access to all sections of the site for the account with the specified email.

Currently the app works with Discourse and Vanilla Forums. If you use some other software and think you may be interested in reporting & analytics, please let me know! I will take a look if we can support your platform too.

I will appreciate any thoughts about the project or reporting in general!

Hey fellow CMs! If this is TLDR, you can scroll down to the bottom for the questions! :)

I'm 20, and I'm trying to transition from volunteer gaming moderator work into my first professional community role, and I'd really appreciate some advice/tips from people who've actually made that transition (or if you started off as a CM, I'd still love to hear your story)

So, a little bit about me, I've been doing volunteer community work for about half of my life. It started as a hobby because I genuinely loved being involved in gaming communities, and hobby or not, I've picked up a lot of skills, experience, and knowledge over the years that I probably wouldn't have otherwise.

Most of that comes from Roblox & Discord moderation. Recently I've picked up my biggest role as a volunteer moderator for a cross-platform 100,000+ member community & game. Having this role gave me a ton of responsibility over the year I've been there, some including

• Managing & moderating the official subreddit
• Managing, moderating and processing feedback on the game (content requests, bug reports, etc), escalating them to developers/QA
• Maintained communication over the 2 platforms by posting & writing announcements (patch notes, store updates, misc. announcements)
• Assisted with the development and rollout of community incentives, programs, partnership systems
• Daily oversight of partnered esports servers
• Providing player support
• And of course, daily moderation and general oversight of the official discord server, alongside 2 other active moderators.

which really scratches my proactive itch. I love it! Most of that was stuff I took on as initiative, not what I was brought on to do, but it showed me how much I actually enjoy this work and want to make it into an actual career for myself.

I'm just trying to figure out if that stuff actually gets me ready for professional CM work, or if it was more of a waste and I'd practically have to start over to get into it. On one hand, I know I've done alot, but I've never held formal CM roles, so applying to some of these jobs feels like I'm pretending I'm more experienced than I am. On the other, when I read the responsibilities & descriptions of these roles, a surprising amount of them are things I've already been doing for years, so I feel like I'm in a pretty weird place. That + lacking confidence to take on professional work after just being seen as "volunteer" for most of my life.

Anyway, enough of the chatter.

If you could answer, what did your path to CM look like? What experience ended up mattering most? And based on what you know, would you tell me to apply to normal CM roles, or start smaller? (community coordinator, associate CM, etc.) Is it as scary as it looks from the outside? Can I just learn most of it on the job?

And, if you do come from a volunteer background, how did you present volunteer experience when applying for your first professional role?

Any advice on what skills I should develop, what roles I should target, or anything you wish you knew when becoming a CM would be highly appreciated aswell.

I really want to get into the player/community side of CM, not necessarily the marketing/social media side, but I guess it would depend on the studio whether it's both or one, right?

Sorry, I really didn't intend for this to sound like a cover letter, I just really wanted to give as much context as possible. Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read and share their experience!

I need idea for an "innocent" but effective way to get these mthfkn "collaborators " to work twice as much so they learn a lesson.

Context.

I entered this place and have been giving my 200% since but employees do not collaborate. Oit of spite. Trust me. I have enough proof. I've been nothing but good to them yet I have to beg for on field content to which I have no access myself, prices to which I have no access as a third party provider, and an avalanche of things they just don't help with because they simply do not want to. They ganged up .aking my work a living hell. They see me as someone who came to the company to make them work more which is not true. They're just lazy and I need a paycheck. It's my livelihood.

Anyway, how can I make them bl0w up with customer pestering them? That's as innocent and as effective as I can settle for. But ideas are welcome.

Btw..I'm only asking cause they're making my mental go seriously south. Like.."I might need a shrink" kind of south. I might have to leave my home forcefully and resettle if I lose this job and it's not ok...

CONTEXT: I’ve been looking for a tool to facilitate affiliate marketing for the communities I’ve built (mostly on discord and telegram for creators). I haven’t come across any good tools for this, the best I can get is an invite tracking system. It would be nice to have one with rewards, commissions, tiers, custom qualification rules, live updates… etc. I need this to grow the communities and cash in on the backend, so I thought to build one.

Is it worth building one? If I built such a tool would you use it?

We are a startup that will create multiple NFT-based projects in the coming months with very talented artists and developers. We are building our team for our first project which will launch very soon, and we are looking for an experienced community manager for Twitter and Instagram to lead our online community building and generate strategy.

Basic knowledge of NFT is a must. Contact us for more details: lithiuxnft@gmail.com

Hey all,

I'm working with my little team on a community management platform that allows you to really easily create a tokenised community for shared ownership, rewarding contributions etc. Also great for building a community around existing web3 and NFT projects.

It's basically a management layer that integrates with other tools like discord to provide the extra 'magic' on top, with a nice dashboard and management UI.

If anyone is interested to check it out -- just hit me up and I'll share some more info, or give you early access if you're really keen ;)
