We have been testing the hybrid chat model for the last few months and I’m keen to see how that goes in other communities! It’s been an interesting experiment so far.

I’m going to be experimenting with AMAs in our community. I know it’s been done before, but the big difference is that we’re doing it using asynchronous video.

I plan on leveraging data from video games with my community. Use API’s to build a business out of a passion project and test a alternative reality customer journey experience, for onboarding and fun.

I want to get better at encouraging community members to bring more than questions to the table because I know there is a lot of interesting stuff people are doing with the product we work with…but most of the long-form discussion is about technical aspects of implementation and troubleshooting. I want to see more personality and story as part of our community interactions. Any tips on moving in that direction? Especially in a forum that is labeled as community, but has functionally been a troubleshooting space.

The goal of this forum is to encourage friendships, mentorships, and collaborations in the Elm community. Beginner questions are welcome. We love to help out!

There are three categories of posts on here:

Caveat: I am not an active member of that community, so I don’t really know how it’s worked out in practice.
