Groups could be sorted (A-Z by industry) for better UX. Faster to look through. I done it manually and it looks better.
Differentiate groups between Facebook/Slack/other. This is important if facebook/slack/other is not part of someones workflow. For example, I exported CSV and differentiated it myself by adding another column. This could be done already, so people would not need to do differentiating themselves for better UX.
There is existing feature on EA Forumhttps://forum.effectivealtruism.org/community#online which is better because it has a potential to include more groups—any EA online group besides professional. It is also better because it has simple UI and simple to find.
It would be nice to compare activity between Facebook and Slack groups for the purpose of curiosity. It is interesting to know how active are these on facebook (maybe super active?). Possibly there are other benefits of doing some analysis.
Fixed this—we had this at some point but something must have happened...
Not sure what you mean by this one. Can you elaborate?
We know about this feature but want to be able to present working groups all by themselves and on a site that caters to a broader audience than the forum. It is possible we will add this to the forum at some point as well.
Since I rarely open Facebook I would never see content posted there, so maybe it is not worth looking for a group on the platform. So it could have a column listing what kind of platform community is on. This would enable to filter out quickly.
Some people use more Facebook, others use more Slack, others use EA forum etc. There is so much on the internet and limited time.
I wonder:
how many EAs use Facebook;
how many members these groups have;
how active groups are (do members visit groups);
how often posts are seen and how many see them (because of Facebook algorithm not showing posts);
what is the response/success rate (do people find the answers when they post?), do they find it is worth continue using? Is there a sense of community created etc.
Same questions could be asked about Slack and other platforms. Slack does not have an algorithm, so every message has to be read, but how many people visit communities on Slack (everyday, once a week, once a month?)
How different platforms and groups compare? For example, Entrepreneurship group does better on Facebook or Slack?
Which social media the group uses is listed for each record and you can inline filter for anything you care about (e.g. “hide all the ones using facebook”, “show only those using slack”).
Thanks for this work. I like the direction.

Hi there,
