@abhishekiyer52 good insight! you are right about this being a time consuming activity. Communities like that can be difficult to get a foothold in. The sector I am interested in is Fashion and AI development.

One of the first steps is to be present and active in other tangential communities. For example, if you are building a specific developer community then consider being active in niche communities such as Jamstack, AI development, framework-focused communities, and so on.

Once you are seen as a valued member in other communities, people will trust you to join your community as well. This is a time-consuming process but worth it in the long run.

Answer

Try to identify your audience and their needs, defining your purpose and message, and choosing the right platform to engage with them. Once you have a clear plan in place, start creating and sharing valuable content, and actively engage with your audience to foster meaningful connections.
