That's such a good episode - I too listened when I started TMMAL. Agreed this is such a valuable topic as it's so easy to give up when you're 3 months in with no engagement.
Here are some things I remind myself of daily:
If my Forem exploded today, I wouldn't be able to handle the moderation due to lack of experience and time so I am glad it takes time.
I am enjoying the journey of connecting with people that I never thought I would connect with through my communities (pro MMA athletes for example).
I focus on sharing content and reaching further engagement on only one extra social network (Twitter).
Forem is just getting going with the overall ecosystem. Cross discovery of communities within the ecosystem as it grows is really key to all of this, the more creators that get involved, the better.
Newsletter engagement is important and I need to ensure that I get a good routine going with this.
At some stage I need to become more community event driven (when I get the time)
I am playing the long game, I want to learn and adapt as I go and I can only do this if I grow slowly, steadily and with integrity
Love doing the art work and branding, something I didn't realise I'd enjoy so much :)
