How to (Re)build Community in 10 Easy Steps—Post Pandemic
summary
NATO script community grows a Slack channel to 10,000 members and Front-End Foxes maintains ~1,500 on Slack while running free bootcamps (now in a fourth cohort) and a 500‑registrant online event; communities pivoted from conferences to paid teachers, mock interviews, LinkedIn reviews, virtual badges made in Canva, and swag-as-stickers. Recommendations include choosing platforms (Discord for video, Slack for bots), using Donut for pairings, enforcing a code of conduct with an accountability ladder, and rethinking power as Hub-and-spoke power versus constellation models.
