During the past weeks, we have been refining and improving the way we communicate to our community. On November of last year, we published a
blog post explaining some changes which improved communications by moving repetitive blog posts such as weekly summaries, community meetings, development updates and other events to the Lisk forums. After months of communicating through this setup we noticed it could be done better; having weekly updates and monthly community meeting summaries on the forums felt impersonal and once again, repetitive. Therefore, after receiving community feedback and having an internal team dialogue we’ve decided to improve upon our current way of communicating.
Lisk Chat SimplifiedOne of the first changes to streamline communications was to remove channels from the
Lisk Chat as to focus efforts in several key channels (
#announcements,
#development,
#general,
#mainnet,
#off-topic,
#testnet and
#trading). This was done to have a more streamlined approach towards open conversations and to make it easier for our team members to keep track of the conversations. The Lisk Chat is based on Rocket Chat — an open sourced online chat solution — where the Lisk community can have conversations with members of the team, so come join us!
Lisk Blog RefinedMoving forward, we believe the best way to communicate our advancements are through well written blog posts which will be re-distributed through our newsletter. These blog posts highlight different facets of the Lisk project and are being published by individuals working directly on it — this provides a personal experience for the community reading the updates. Furthermore, re-focusing communications through the
Lisk Blog and the
Lisk Newsletter allows us to have a wider reach on the community, specifically with new incoming members.
Lisk Subreddit Focused (Lisk Forums Deprecated)The Lisk Chat offers the community a platform for direct conversations within themselves and with the people working on the Lisk Platform. However, interactions and important conversations on a chat solution are often missed, and there is a need for a forum-like platform where in depth discussions can nourish. The Lisk Forums played this role for more than a year, but its reach is quite limited. For this reason, we’ve decided to focus on the
Lisk Subreddit as the first point of contact for new members and in-depth discussions. We’re currently in talks with several members of the community and weighing the options for moving delegate related topics off the forums and to another platform. As of last month, weekly updates on the Lisk Forum were discontinued and the changes above have taken into effect.
