Great points were made - as always- I believe that as the community grows it's so easy to miss sight of their purpose. That's why doing regular check-ins with the members and (like you said interacting) comes into play in the long run.

Great piece Chrissy <3

Thank you for sharing this! You know I’ve been interested in creating a community, but it’s so hard to figure out where to start… but this is the perfect place. Thank you!!

Okay, first of all, am I in this community!? Where’s my invite? Is it on discord? Lol. Second, I’m bookmarking because maaaybe one day I’ll create a community.. I’ve thought about it once before so this really helps with the consideration process. Thank you Chrissy! 🤍

Thanks for your support Sabrina! :) The community is on Daily.dev. I hyperlinked it where it says “Open Source Queens” in Lesson 1.
