Hi everyone! Creators and companies alike are increasingly understanding the strategic value of community to grow their audience or their business. But given the fragmented nature of communities today, it's difficult for community builders to know which tools to use or platforms to adopt. That's why I'm super excited to hunt Orbit's Constellation Report, which charts the state of community tools. They surveyed community builders from 115 different communities - from solo-founders to large teams, and from mature communities to those just getting started. The resulting report will help you: Discover new, useful community tools Make confident choices about your tech stack Learn about the tooling trends changing the industry Enjoy!

@picsoung Thanks for hunting, Nicolas! Let us know what you think of the report. There's no email paywall, and for those just interested in finding new tools, we've turned the results into a tools index too that ranks categorized tools by usage among community builders: https://orbit.love/community-too...

@iwozik Thank you, Olle. We didn't want it to look like a typical corporate report so leaned fully into that space theme :D

As a community human — one of the questions I'm asked most is "what platform should I use" — seeing the takeaway that the average community exists across 6 different platforms is validating. Great work ?makers — glad to see this come to life!
