I made several searches for music related platforms of interest specifically mandolin and Fiddle, and wasn't able to find anything. How can I create my own?
@aso_enterprises Thanks for the suggestion, we'll put some up and let you know! If you know of any existing mandolin/fiddle communities, you can submit via the "Submit" button in the header or just send me the url and I'll put up the info. Thanks :)
@rodrigogtomaz Thanks for the suggestion, Rodrigo! Is this your app? If so, please submit the info in this form and I'd be happy to get your community live. Will be nice to start a new page for Android platform communities. https://thehiveindex.com/submit/

Congrats Fed, love anything that works to make the Internet less lonely. One pain point I have with online communities post-discovery is gauging the health of that community (I’ve joined many discords that are real sleepy or have only a few actives). anything you’re doing to help on the post-discovery, choosing between communities front?
@dj_satoda Hey DJ! Great to hear that you see value. You're right, not all communities are the same. I try to make it easy to find a community that fits your preference by tagging each community with a structured set of "features" to make the discovery process easier. Regarding showing activity, that's actually something I have in mind so stay tuned :)

This is pretty cool! Does it include paid gated/communities or only free ones? Either way looks useful.
@jonasbrother Yes I have 60 paid communities right now! I tag each community with 9 features (going to be 12 soon), and being a paid community is one of them. The goal of these tags is to let users filter the list of communities so they can find a perfect one for their preferences. Sometimes people like paying for community because they like the higher barrier to entry and increased engagement from the other community members.
You can check out some of the paid communities via the features page: https://thehiveindex.com/features/
@jpdavidpeters Thank you! TBH, the review feature is quite new (basically just in time for this launch ;) so the verification will be a bit manual initially. But ensuring the quality of the content on the site is a top priority for us, if we feel like there is any abuse we will do our best to address it.
Hey Product Hunt! I'm Fed and I've been researching, curating, and promoting online communities on the Hive Index.
I've been blown away by the inspiration, support, and helpful resources that online communities provide for their members, and I want that to be accessible to anyone that wants it.
The Hive Index organizes online communities by topic, platforms, size, and features of the community, so that users can find the perfect fit for their needs.
What started as a small list of my favorite entrepreneurship groups has quickly grown into much more. I've recruited my talented little sister to help with the curation of new community topics & design of the website, and in the past couple of months we've grown the directory to over 1100 communities across 88 different topics. Now the Hive Index helps thousands of people find community every single week.
Our goal with this launch is to improve this free resource with some help from you. If you are part of an amazing community that's not listed, let's add it. If you think we should curate a new topic or add a new platform, let us know.
Thanks for your support!

@thefedoration does it have different topics , for example fintech, investors community?
@_1_ras Yes it does! We have 88 topics total right now. That includes finance, stock market, venture capital, crypto, and financial independence communities
Very nice product! It is very well divided in sections, easy to navigate, and it is based on such a good idea! Bravo! Congratulations for launching it! ^_^
@thefedoration Good to know! Thanks a lot for the answer! I can't wait to start buzzing in the Hive! ^_^

Amazing site - been following Gummy Search but didn't know you had this too. One of the first things I'm going to do in the New Year is go through this and find some relevant communities for my product launch.
@maxwellcdavis Yeah it's been fun to work on both. I actually got the inspiration for GummySearch after joining all of these communities when curating the Hive Index. But that's a story for another PH launch :) Enjoy, and good luck with your upcoming launch!
Love the interface and the navigation for end-users - people seeking new communities to join. Happy to be in early before it really takes off, which I'm sure it will since I"m telling all my community-owner colleagues about it!
The Hive Index is a great resource for anyone looking to find communities in their Niche. It's also fab at finding communities that use your preferred platform (mine is Slack!). Thanks Fed for building it 😀
