Our second step is to identify the main reason your community exists. Make sure that it's relevant to the time. Old communities which were active need not exist today.
Step 2: Identify your reason for existence
Every thriving community has a clear reason for existing, i.e. a shared passion, goal, or problem to solve. If yours has drifted away from its original mission, now’s the time to realign.
Ask yourself: What was the initial spark that brought everyone together? Can you rekindle that excitement?
For example, if your community started as a place for hobbyists to share tips, maybe focus on reviving those practical discussions instead of overloading it with events or unrelated topics.
Action Step: Write a heartfelt post reminding everyone why this community matters. Share personal stories, highlight past successes, and invite them to help shape the future direction.
Then, make sure that all the relevant members have actually received your message through email or through DMs. This is very important.
