Do you find PH to be a good place to build community.. or do you need to drive it somewhere else?

@jaketital Seconding Jake here.

@jaketital how much so? Question from a newbie

@jaketital main medium being LinkedIn? or are you more of a threads guy?

@stephane_jauffret the community isn't like what it was back when i started in 2014. There's less depth in conversations and it's more about creating content that directs to an upcoming launch .

@jaketital interesting and probably linked to the sheer volume of people here. In my case, as a total newbie here, I’m as much interested in promoting my upcoming launch as I am in learning from you guys who seem to operate in similar app building. I read quite a few books about GTM, product led, marketing, lean management and so forth, but there is no such thing as speaking to people in the same boat as you are. IMO 😉

@elaineluyi I hear that. I am thinking (once we're live) to pivot over to LinkedIn and start hammering that medium but pre-launch it's a little difficult to do as we don't want to drive people anywhere at the moment.

@dzaitzow that could be good too, make sure it's a platform where the community can interact and co-create with each other too even when you're not engaging them. I have found slack/discord or chat based platform to be more effective for those. But regardless, good luck :)

@baron_swartz do you not feel as though it is self contained? I think there is always a degree of an end goal for business related social media. I think without direct access to users that makes things a little more community focused but not as huge on the brand building side.

@ixord Do you think the platform could benefit from DMs (maybe if you're following one another or something like Hinge haha) or is it perfect the way it is?

@vitor_seabra how do you typically transfer those community members?

@thestarkster Yea that is a solid take - It seems like most of the community lives in the discussions form but I was hoping one day they'd implement a messaging ecosystem (similar to a dating app) if you follow eachother - you can message back and fourth.
