A community for leaders on the Imzy platform.
Upcoming change - dormant communities
We are releasing a process today that will notify leaders of a community and let them know the following:
- After 7 days of no posts being created in their community, we will let them know how many members the community has and that it would be great if they posted something. The hope is to get posts in dormant communities. Imagine going through our onboarding process, finding a community that looks great only to find that it's dead. We want to avoid this.
- Three days later, if a post still hasn't been made we let you know one last time that a post needs to be made or we will de-list your community. This means it will not show up in onboarding or browse communities. It will however show up in search.
- Three days later, if a post still hasn't been made, we will de-list the community and notify the leaders of the community.
We will not email about this after this, but if a post is made, we will re-list the community.
Note: In the future we will enforce a time limit on communities that if they go dormant for too long, they will be taken back by Imzy and allowed for someone new to have them. We will be fully transparent about this time line and get your feedback on it before enacting this policy.




Today on "Things Imzy Does Better Than Reddit"
Bravo!
Yep. I see no problems with this at all.
Actually, I do see one issue popping up for me. One of the communities I created is for a hockey team. Right now it's the off season and they didn't make the playoffs. So between now and August there will be very little news. Come the pre-season there will be lots to post.
Legit problem, we will consider this.
I think as long as one of the leaders can reply to a ticket and say "Hey, it's a community that has seasonal content" it should be fine as long as you guys can temporarily stop it from delisting.
Great idea. Helps us users know where the active communities are.
I may or may not have spent far too much time last night browsing through every single community listing.
I mean, I was watching West Wing for like the third time, which didn't really need my full attention. So I kinda have an excuse?
But yeah I agree that this is hella useful and I'm glad they're doing it this way.
We need a West Wing community. Now.
This is awesome.
OK well, there was a bug in my code and too many people got emails :( sadface
I wanna get the name history and the communtiy is dormant so I support the hell out of this
I think you should still have a way for people to see dorment communities, like click a box that is off by default that says: "see dorment communities" and those communities would have like an icon saying ZZZ or the word dorment
Yay! Just as I wanted.
Honestly, this may not be the best thing across the board, especially for niche communities where content is few and far between, such as natural disaster related communities (Or any similar periodical focused event based communities). That said, creators could certainly just make placeholder posts to keep things listed.
