How many people are you currently managing in your community? I started with less than 2k three years ago but now there's around 7k.

I'm in my first position with a small start-up. At the moment, I am currently managing a community of approximately 300 people. Any tips for managing communities with numbers in the thousands?

1500 - it's been a big job but exciting! I hope to manage much larger communities in the future!!

Congratulations on your success! :)

I am currently in charge of a community with more than 4,500 people. In the past three years that I have been running this community, it has experienced substantial growth. I am in charge of interacting with the neighborhood, answering their queries and grievances, and facilitating discussions to guarantee fruitful discourse.

I have nearly a thousand when I first joined the company. I have more than 3k now. It's overwhelming.
