Which platform(s) do you primarily use to share updates, announcements, and news?
Where do you regularly post product updates, company news, announcements, etc. Or do you typically publish those through your blog or website or even chat like Slack? I'm using a mix of a few and am curious which one will be the most active. What has your experience been like? Which platforms have you tried/want to try?

As for me, it is a combo of social media: X, LinkedIn
It depends, what kind of target audience you want to reach. If it is for internal purposes, I would go for Slack in that case.
But the best case is to benefit from platforms where you have the biggest user base.
@busmark_w_nika Makes complete sense. Definitely depends on the audience and finding out where your target customers are. Sometimes that takes some trial and error I guess.
Underrated: Product Forums (/p/) by @Product Hunt — an opportunity to start building momentum early and keep it going post-launch.
Product Hunt
@fmerian +1, have been seeing more makers do this and it's a great way to engage directly with users or potential users.
@gabe any good examples that struck you?
@eliza_pogorilska Yeah i dont consider slack a social platform, but I guess if it's a large enough community it might feel like it. I've been in slack channels with thousands of people. But then that slack channel is super niche usually.
It's LinkedIn for me for external announcements!
Would have loved it if PH had a mechanism too.
Absolutely. From my perspective, Product Forums (/p/) are the opportunity to keep momentum.
it's automatically created. see example: /p/marketfit
absolutely :)
In most cases - social media ads + newsletters should work.
Why ads?
Most of us here run early startups and it's WAY FASTER to use ads to announce information that "matters" to your audience is a really effective way to get both awareness and user growth. Make sure you choose the right campaign type.

We actually use our emails + in-app notifications.
