r/CommunityManager

Hey everyone! 👋

For those who have experience building or managing communities, what are the few things a community manager should never overlook when building, growing, or maintaining a community?

I’m curious to know what really matters beyond just increasing member count — things like engagement, retention, culture, ownership, and making members feel valued.

Would love to hear your experiences, lessons learned, and any frameworks you follow! 🚀

I recently started working in a new platform. I'm used to Sprout, but for a client, we've migrated to Nectar Social. It seems good, but a lot also seems like AI summaries that need backup analysis/manual review.

Does anyone have any experience with it? I want to like it! I am just worried about how much AI summarization is happening/whether it's as accurate as what I'm used to in Sprout..

I've been looking to become a community manager on a server for quite some time. I don't have direct experience with it, but I am a former AHA moderator. I left shortly after the drama ended and helped with some systems like: welcome system and a basic support server construction( I only did a few things. ). Before a new community manager came in, I gave so many server suggestions that, even before becoming a moderator, I was suggested as a handpick. I love things related to this and I really want to continue, especially since I've always had a passion for development and I can help with project management; I studied a bit of development, and studied a lot about project management. The problem is: how can I get hired at big games, big studios that need a manager?
