Every community is different but one thing is certain that all communities want to help members connect with and help each other. So while thinking about the space you want to create, think about what would help members express themselves and what's relevant to help community members get to their outcomes.

Some pointers:

  • When starting with a small cohort (<50 members), don't go overboard in terms of channels. Keep it simple - a space for members to introduce themselves, a QnA channel, and a general chit-chat area + maybe an announcements section.
  • For larger communities, it makes sense to create channels that help segment various categories of conversation within the community.

Channel ideas for communities on Slack, Discord, or Circle:

  • Gratitude - to show support to one another
  • Amplify - help the community amplify each others content on social media
  • Offers - a space for members to share what they can offer help on
  • Asks - a space for members to post specific asks where they need help
  • Showcase or Promote-your-stuff - to allow members to share their creations
  • Jobs - to post any job opportunities relevant to the community
  • Perks - to post perks or benefits that are exclusive to the community
  • Support - for any support tickets community wants to raise
  • Feedback - for the community to share feedback around the product or community
  • Random - for water-cooler conversations (and memes)
  • Resources or Reading list - share relevant resources or content relevant to the community
  • Community-led channels - empower the community to create channels around specific topics

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
