3x tried and tested ways to create deeper connections between your community members 🧵
1. Regular events
After meeting in person, the next best way to build relationships is over video.
Regularly scheduled, properly hosted happy hours, office hours, meet and greets (or whatever suits your members) work well.

2. 1:1 introductions
Depending on your platform, there are apps that can do this for you (such as Donut.com on Slack). However some community builders do this manually, like with @anthilemoon's 'Mind Match' for Ness Labs members.

3. 'Oversharing'
By this, I mean creating an environment people can share slightly more honest or personal information with the wider community.
For example, at @weekendclubHQ we have a #strugglebus channel to post about the bad times.

That's all I've got. Let me know your suggestions too! 🙏
At Weekend Club and Indie London we actually use catchup.rocks instead of Donut, as it's more focused on communities than the enterprise. Let me know if you want an early look. 🤫
Also h/t to @michristofides for the 'Struggle Bus' name 🚌
