The SPACES model helps define community goals: Support, Product, Acquisition, Contribution, Engagement, Success.

Onboarding helps new members feel included and understand how to participate.

The heart of any community is creating belonging and shared identity.

Engagement tells you if people are active and connected. Signups alone don’t mean a thriving space.

Content that solves problems or sparks ideas builds habit. Freebies fade, value sticks.

Even great tools won’t save a silent community. Engagement is the lifeblood of growth.

Members create value through shared stories and advice. The community grows when everyone joins in.

In 2025, WhatsApp communities cannot have more than 100 groups. This limit may change in future.

Jatra offers several SEO-optimizations for the user-generated content, unlike Slack, WhatsApp and Telegram which do not expose your content to search engines.

Email verification is a security feature, not part of gamification. Badges, points, and leaderboards are all common gamified features.

Gamification motivates members to participate more by tapping into reward and recognition loops. It builds habits and encourages return visits.

Niche communities often bring people together to exchange tips, ideas, and expertise.

Retention shows if people keep coming back, which signals strong engagement.

Owning your platform gives you full control over content, data, and user experience.
