A community for leaders on the Imzy platform.
What communities are in your neighborhood?
We've added a cool new feature for all of you!
There are a lot of communities that have similar interests or that may be about completely different topics but share the same standards as yours. And we want you to be able to promote those relationships! Now you can show off the communities you're closest to, your community partnerships can help each other grow, and your members can discover other great communities they might be interested in!
Members can see your community neighborhood in the "about" section of your community. Here's what the one for this community looks like:

You'll notice that there's a "mutual" label on the first one there, which means that both communities have added each other to their neighborhood.
You can add other communities to your neighborhood in your community settings.
Thanks to @Jaleh, @James, and @Alex for taking this from a vague idea to a full feature in less than a week. That's how you know you have an awesome team.




Hey nice work here guys!
Whoa, that's some super intense enthusiasm, giphy.
Haha seriously.
Me irl when I find out there still is mango juice in the fridge
Bad potter.
Yeah, this is what we do 😉
Yup
Tally ho mate!
Thanks guys! I particularly really like the "mutual" label, that was a great addition. Excited to see what different folks do with this feature.
Whoa this is huge! Was wondering how the growing amount of communities was going to get grouped!
We're also still working on continuing to improve our recommendations in other ways as well to make sure that everyone can find the best communities for them and find ones related to their interests. The more communities that do this though, the more data we have to get even better!
Ouch!
👀
Poor Spidey : (
Poor kid! haha
Ouch!!! Hope he was OK :(
Cool. How are we going to find the similar communities?
I think searching and sorting by category would be good. Eventually we'll be able to use other communities lists to find more.
As a leader, you'll have the option in the settings area to add in any communities you want. We don't directly recommend any for you to add, so that it can be up to you.
If you're a user, you'll be able to view the communities that have been added (or suggest additions) in the "about" tab of the community, like this: https://www.imzy.com/leaders/about
If I find a community that matches mine, can I talk to the leaders over there to setup a mutual neighbor?
Yes, absolutely! We'll be setting up notifications soon so that when you add a community or they add you, you'll know and be able to add them back if you want to. In the meantime though, you can message them through their helpdesk to see if they're interested. :)
Cool. Thanks for your quick response!
Thanks for being a part of our beta and leading an awesome community!
It's my pleasure. I've enjoyed it here.
Oh, that'll be awesome once there are actually notifications set up! Love that idea even more. :)
This is going to be great for /Music, thanks @Kaela and team!
Side question, is there an easy way for me to search for music related communities? Are they tagged in any way?
If you go to the community discovery page (by clicking the telescope icon in your header or the "discovery more" link at the top of your communities list), you can browse/filter by interest, one of which is music!
This is awesome!
I think I'll make a neighborhood of personal communities.
I added a bunch for /weffey
Woot, I really do like that "mutual" feature:
It makes me feel so legit! 💃
Oh, I'm only one member away from 25!
Best friends forever.
oh good call! brb, setting that up for /greenie :)
How many are there at this point? Seems like more pop up every day.
Lots! You can see the list here: https://www.imzy.com/communities?interest=interest_personal_community
Yeah, I'm not sure. It's definitely gaining popularity. Are you starting one?
Thank kale!
Ha, I honestly hadn't thought about it. I'll do it if you follow :)
Of course!
Ha, ok hold me to it!
You should also get Meg to do it : )
Can we be neighbors!?!?! :)
Yes! Of course : )
If I ever figure out how to add neighbors you'll be the first to know! haha
@Kaela - am I blind? :)
It's in your community settings, same place you edit what post types are allowed, post tags, anonymity, etc. Or you can just paste this onto the end of the URL of your community:
/edit?screen=settingsSo yes is the simple answer. I am blind haha :) Thank you!
Well, I mean, I wasn't going to say it, but since you did... 😉
This looks great!
woooohoooo!
That's amazing!
So excited for this guys! Great work.
\o/ Looks great!
Love this! This is a great idea. :) Excited to discover new communities with it!
This is pretty neat!
I had done this on an about page as a bulleted list of "Related communities". This looks and feels much better. Thanks for giving us another option that, in my opinion, is better.
Glad it's useful for you! :)
This is awesome. Writers on Imzy, unite!
This is one thing I like about Imzy... new features keep being added often
That's our goal! We want to be giving you new features every week. :) Occasionally we fall behind when there are some that are a little bit more work, but we're trying, and sometimes they're not as visible because they're optimizations and bug fixes, but we're trying to make Imzy better for you all the time! And we've got some really big features on the horizon that I'm super excited about!
Cool! Hope it's new ways for people to communicate and discover communities and content :-)
Neighborhood communities that have become neighbors before notifications are enabled should be notified once the notifications happen.
