Other elements (writing pointwise like a school student):</p> <ol> <li>A platform which focuses on the target audience you want. Example, instead of linkedin, you might want to create a community on behance (less sure if it allows) if you are doing something related to design.</li> <li>Be a part of other communities which have your target audience and ask for help there.</li> <li>Keeping things less spammy and more exclusive works a lot, but it depends on your need.</li> <li>You can reward people to participate in your community (kind of on the lines of giving goodies to use your product, sometimes I don't prefer it morally, but at some places it fits in perfectly)</li> <li>From my experience, community always needs someone who drives it (just like religion may be), members will engage if you give them something to do.</li> </ol> <p>We're building a product for developer communities (<a href="https://dev.tourl">www.commudle.com</a>), a first of it's kind ecosystem which is centered on developer centric activities (discord is great, so is slack and all the amazing community &amp; event platforms, but they are not focused on developers...).</p> <p>DEV's a great community to be in!</p> beginners startup product discord
