This repository is a living library of community how‑to guides for people who build, maintain, and care for online spaces.
- A collection of practical guides, templates, and playbooks for community work.
- Sourced from:
- Aggregated insights from multiple community professionals.
- Direct contributions and write-ups from operators in the field.
- Focused on real-world execution: what to do on Monday morning, not just theory.
The work of community professionals is often fragmented, under-documented, and learned the hard way in DMs and buried threads. This repo aims to:
- Simplify community operations with clear, reusable guides.
- Unify shared knowledge so community pros aren’t reinventing the wheel alone.
- Level up industry standards for:
- How we design and run communities.
- How we care for the humans who gather online.
- How we measure impact beyond vanity metrics.
- Copy, adapt, and remix resources for your own community context.
- Use as a reference for:
- Training new community managers.
- Auditing and upgrading existing community practices.
- Aligning your team on building resilient online communities.
This is intentionally collaborative.
- If you’re a community professional with a battle-tested tactic, framework, or template:
- Open a PR with a new guide.
- Or improve clarity, examples, and structure in existing ones.
- Please:
- Keep contributions practical and specific.
- Anonymize sensitive details if you’re sharing real incidents.
- Avoid sharing proprietary or private company information.
- Community managers, heads of community, and community-adjacent roles.
- Founders and operators spinning up or scaling communities.
- Anyone responsible for the health, safety, and experience of people gathering online.
If this repo helps you ship a better community experience, prevents burnout, or gives you language for advocating for the craft internally, then it’s doing its job.
