Welcome to the 86th edition of Community Digest. Every week, we bring to you community updates from across the world. Let’s get started!

Hey everyone!

You have created your community. Members have started coming in. What next? How would you make the right first impression?

Let's talk about introductions and the first few days in the community. Here is a four-step process to show value to members in the first few days:  

- Have as many 1:1s as possible on a daily/weekly basis
- Understand their challenges and find a few people in the community who can help them
- Be the matchmaker, drop in an introduction and connect them!
- Check in with the member if the connection helped and gather feedback

Have a growing community and want to create campaigns at scale? Email, Community Channels, DMs, or Twitter - find the right outreach channel and 10x your engagement and member activation.
