I've heard getting involved in twitter is a good way but any recommendations on hashtags, other communities/platforms, people to follow, etc?

Hi Justin!
We are in the same boat, so I'm happy to hear what you find works for you.
I heard Indiehackers is good, and I've found some Slack communities which could be helpful.
And now you have one more person in your network ;)

@racheej @clement862 I usually get someone to email me a link, there are usually some admin gates but 99% immediate admission. Let me know if you want some invites
@justin_govy Pl. do / let me know the group names.
Warmup Inbox
@fabian_maume Lunadio looks cool. I need to do better job checking out discord. Honestly, that's a new experience I'm learning to navigate as well.
Userdome
Hanging out here is a good start. :)
@jakub_piskor I'm pretty new to PH but I've really enjoyed it. Bummed I'm only just finding out about it, so many incredible businesses doing badass things!

discord servers related to your industry, topic, or user audience perhaps
Input around getting hunters lined up is also really helpful!!

We've been trying to figure out the same thing! So far we've really just been soaking up all Product Hunt has to offer, getting engaged and trying to meet other badass founders like yourself @justin_govy ! Will likely be sharing on LinkedIn and Twitter additionally
@akoratana twitter has been a great way to connect and engage with people. Linkedin feels like it's falling behind when it comes to the authentic community building aspects. Twitter is like my weekend hang crew while linkedin is more like a school classroom

@justin_govy have to agree with you there. As much as I like LinkedIn for the specificity of roles, industry, etc., it totally has that school classroom vibe
@akoratana has it's benefits for sure, there are just better platforms now for finding your like-minded community.
I found this post really helpful - https://www.reddit.com/r/b2bmark... (we're in the same boat, so doing as much research as I can & trying to get our team on board with PH as a first step)
@amiefinlayson @clement862 This is great, so helpful to see lessons learned and catch some of that hindsight strategy. Check this out from @jaidayang , solid playbook...

Thanks for sharing @justin_govy 🌟
Following this. I'm seeing some slack communities are useful and of course Product Hunt itself.
@clement862 discord as well.
