The community opportunity often lies in creating an experience that has nothing to do with your topic (ie. a hiking trip for accountants). Our default is to do something focused on the topic like a “talk” or “course” or “discussion group” but sometimes, just having them do something fun together is much more effective. The goal is to get your members to experience each other in unique ways. Look for things that everyone likes, things that “transcend identity”, like nature, sports, health, art, food, etc.

There are two things that every community program should focus on: How it creates value, belonging, and emotional safety for members How it creates value and measurable results for the business
How do you build a community? The best way is to make them feel something for what you do. Reply to their comments. Have a dialogue. Have a conversation. Show you care. And they will show that they do too.
Pinpoint people you share a purpose with, do something together, and get them talking.
