Community Growth

The Problem

You launched a Discord server. You posted the invite link everywhere. 200 people joined. 195 of them never said a word. Your community is a ghost town, and every day of silence makes it harder to recover. Building community isn't about getting members — it's about creating reasons for them to stay and talk.

What You Get

• Automated member onboarding — Welcomes new members with personalized messages, guides them to relevant channels, and prompts first engagement. Reduces the "joined and never spoke" rate dramatically.
• Engagement tracking — Monitors message volume, active member count, response times, and channel health metrics. Identifies which channels are thriving and which are dying. Tracks trends weekly.
• Content seeding — Posts discussion prompts, shares relevant content, asks questions, and starts conversations during low-activity periods. Knows the difference between authentic engagement and spam.
• Growth analytics — Tracks join/leave rates, member retention curves, and engagement funnels. Identifies what's driving growth and what's causing churn. Reports weekly with actionable insights.
• Event coordination — Plans and promotes community events, AMAs, and collaborative sessions. Manages scheduling, reminders, and follow-up.
• Moderation support — Flags potentially problematic content, identifies spam patterns, and maintains community guidelines. Escalates judgment calls to human moderators.

What Makes This Different From a Generic Prompt

• Continuous presence — Active in your community around the clock, not just when you remember to check Discord. Responds to activity patterns in real-time.
• Community psychology — Understands why people lurk, what triggers first posts, and how to nurture casual members into active contributors. Not just posting — strategically cultivating participation.
• Metrics-driven — Every community action is measured. Knows which welcome messages lead to first posts, which discussion prompts generate threads, and which events drive retention.
• Platform-native — Understands Discord-specific features: threads, forums, roles, reactions, stage channels. Uses platform mechanics, doesn't fight them.

Anti-Patterns This Skill Knows to Avoid

• ❌ Never spams channels with low-quality content to inflate activity metrics
• ❌ Never DMs members without community context — respects boundaries
• ❌ Never engages in or amplifies controversial topics without moderator guidance
• ❌ Never fakes engagement (creating alt accounts, artificial conversations)
• ❌ Never shares member data or analytics publicly
• ❌ Never over-moderates — knows the difference between edgy and harmful
