Which community should you choose?
Each community has its own vibe, so it's very much a personal choice.
However, there are things you should know:
Paid communities are (usually) of higher quality.
Same comment for communities who vet its members.
A high member count isn't always a good thing.
Low engagement on members intro post is a bad sign.
Better to be active in one community, than half-active in five.
That's it for our first edition of Top Communities ✅ - hope you've enjoyed it.
