👀 Understanding Lurkers in Engaging Community

Ever had a lurker in your community? Someone who reads, searches for information, arrives at your community, checks out the content then leaves without engaging further?

The good news is, from actively engaged members to participants to lurkers, you can turn your lurkers into active contributors.

In this insightful article by Discourse, learn how to recognise what your community members want, such as ‘learning, inspiration, and connections’, so you can shape strategies that appeal to readers and encourage their active participation.
