Building out the network of users.
There are many struggles. Some are: *Engagement *Giving people a sense of community. *Moderation *Getting initial transaction

Tech stack is a big one - also how to provide value and monetize without killing the trust that's being built

Product, Startup and Crypto Enthusiast Getting people to be in consensus about advancing the community, and getting them committed to spend the time and energy towards this. In my experience, everyone has a different motivation for participating in the community, so finding a unified vision that will intrinsically motivate the whole community takes some effort. But if you can find it, the community will take on a life of its own.

Haven't started building a community yet, but I'm keen to hear thoughts on community building for an app only company versus app and website. I have heard it's easier to build a community with a strong web presence.

Thanks for creating this thread! Some useful insights -- starting to build a community myself.

Keeping the community nourished in the form of value to the members. This requires time and effort especially when first starting out. Community will not grow when they see no value or do not feel comfortable engaging. Once it catches on with engaged members, it can become easier because everyone is then contributing more (and they will start inviting other like minded people).
