Community about running communities?

[vriddy]

I'm meeting more and more people who are finding their way to Dreamwidth and enjoying the pace and atmosphere here better, and are also realising that if they want to see more activity related to their fandoms, they'll have to create the communities themselves.

And so I find myself wondering... Is there a community out there about how to run a dreamwidth community effectively? Where people share their experience and advice, best practices, and possibly support? With topics like how to write a code of conduct or a good profile page, keeping a community active, dealing with trolls, promoting a comm, encouragements...

I found a few posts under the communities tag helpful already, but the kind of questions I'm thinking of may have a broader scope than just getting started 🤔

Oh, a banner...! Promotional code people can copy-and-paste easily is a really good idea.

Thank you for the topic ideas. Several people have suggested regularly occurring posts to me and it seems like a good way to get a community started and keep activity going, especially at the start. I hope I can recruit co-mods to help, once things get going and I can find other people who want to create a community with the same kind of vibes :) Asking for regular feedback and focusing on what works both for the community and for me/the mods sounds like a good plan as well.

Thank you for the advice, encouragements, and excellent food for thought!!
