Yesterday I was thinking about how users of this platform can get the most out of Forums.
Here are some ideas:
1️⃣ There aren't that many posts in the "Introduce yourself" section, so if you contribute something, there's a better chance of getting noticed by the community.
2️⃣ Even if you are an old member of the community, you can "reintroduce" yourself. A lot of people came here, so not everyone may remember you or know about you. At the same time, you can provide help to people in the areas you excel in – just mention it in a post.
3️⃣ Recent posts allow you to tag people. When you are co-creating a product with someone, tag other collaborators in the "Self-promotion" section. This will automatically notify them as well and they will more likely support the post.
4️⃣ Ask questions that can help you improve the product. Conversations are now more moderated and even commented on by PH team members. This way you can get a professional perspective and improve your product or your next launch.
5️⃣ You can also take advantage of the Product Forums – contribute to "p/Figma", "p/Supabase", "p/Notion" and other popular product forums... You can, for example, break down the most common problems of that particular tool and provide solutions. (Forum Threads appear e.g. in the sidebar for a given product for extra visibility)
If you have any other ideas on how to take advantage of this new feature, I would like to see the opportunities from your perspective. 🙂
