A community is nothing without its members

One of the most enjoyable (and sometimes frustrating) aspects of community management is that we deal with humans. Humans are diverse - from their interests, experiences and more - there is a lot that makes up a human. One thing I think a lot about are how people participate differently in spaces. How neurodiversity plays a part, and how we can make experiences better for our members by considering those neurodiversities.

March had a Neurodiversity Celebration Week, and I thought I would share this article! An Introduction to Neurodiversity and Online Barriers

Yours in community,

Your Uncommon community team

Morgan Wood

Head of Community, Hivebrite

Morgan's blog post explores the concept of generosity and how it can benefit both individuals and communities. It is worth reading for anyone interested in personal growth and community development.

JR;SR: Just right; Should read

Light: Esther Trapadoux asked a great question in Uncommon about DMs in communities, which is a great read.
Medium: Sara Saunders does it again with this great piece on How Kt McBratney went from marketer to co-founder and Chief Community Officer
Deep: Okay, it's a podcast, not a blog - but I highly recommend this episode of In Before the Lock where Erica and Brian navigate through developer landing pages and communities from Google, Salesforce, Apple, Visa, and more.
