@haubles organize in cohorts, recruiting groups in related work

Science communicators, or infrastructure engineers, or abortion rights activists

A cohort model gives people community and discussion on day one. That’s what got me to stick on Twitter, once upon a time. I’d had the account for over a year but when I added my name to a spreadsheet of iPhone devs, I suddenly had a community overnight!

@danilo Oh, interesting... my initial thought is, isn't that built-in by way of your home instance -> local timeline? But then again, I set up shop and migrated off a few instances before I settled here on #Fosstodon. Perhaps it's that discoverability needs to be improved then.

@haubles maybe but I think I see this as an organizing problem more than a product or automation problem

if you want specialized groups to stick it helps to give them a shared onboarding experience, I think. Then they know they’re in it with other people, they can compare notes, etc

what I’m describing is definitely in the vein of the “do things that don’t scale” advice for early startups
