Large communities grow fast through scale, but smaller forums can grow through precision. Have you used referral systems, invite-only access, or viral thread formats to drive rapid user growth? Which growth hacks actually worked to increase active participation instead of just sign-ups?

Targeted niche focus works because it gives users value they can’t find on giants. Community events, expert Q&A, and gamified engagement also drive loyalty. Broad, generic marketing often fails since big platforms already dominate those audiences. Similarly, shallow incentives encourage spam rather than genuine participation.
