Today, we are having our Lightning Networking Event, US time friendly! Ruthie Berber and Aleksandra Thomas are your hosts today. Looking forward!
We got Rich Millington sharing a fairly deep review of Discourse this time!

Your Friend, Francisco & Led by the Community Team
Wonder if you're doing a good job with your community?
You're not alone—it's a question we see a lot. Even the most experienced community builders (we're talking 10+ years of experience managing brand-name communities as well as their own) struggle to say with certainty if they're doing a good job...or what "good" even means.
My friends at Circle surveyed 682 creators, layered on Circle product usage data, and dug deeper with one-on-one interviews to find out what “good” really looks like.
They learned there are two types of creators: Platinum creators (the top 10%, in terms of engagement) and standard creators. But, spoiler alert, Platinum communities aren’t what you’d expect.
Introducing the 2024 Community Benchmark Report: Creator Edition, the insider’s guide to what truly sets the best communities apart.
This isn’t your typical, boring report. Stats and figures are just one part of this story; equally important are proven tactics creators can implement in their own communities to achieve the level of success they’re measuring themselves against.
NETWORKING FOR COMMUNITY LEADERS IS HAPPENING TODAY. SAVE YOUR SPOT!
