Engaging more on Grapevine, reccos please?

Hey folks, Today we have 21 communities on Grapevine. SWE, PM, Salary Discussion, Office Gossip, Indian Startups, Bangalore being some of the most active ones. What are some other communities/use cases that we should create? Please do chime in with suggestions :)

Hi Grapeviners Over the last month or so we announced two massive products that are as big as Grapevine itself: 

1. Private Company groups with verification 2. Salaries on Grapevine Thousands of you have since adopted these products, but most importantly, you gave us great feedback and we are working on making these more helpful Here’s what you can expect from Grapevine in the next few weeks: 1. Direct Messaging on Grapevine (yes yes, I know at this point everyone seems to be giving up on this xD) 2. V2 Update to Salaries - making it more useful with more data points 3. Launching verification and company private groups for 100 companies (we will keep doing this where we have enough people) 4. A better feed: We are hoping to show you less of posts you’ve already seen (A common complain with Grapevine) 5. A new approach to communities on Grapevine 6. A feature buff to Polls - making them even more insights rich 7. Better Link type posts - currently links on Grapevine are broken 8. Grapes V2: People will get grapes for creating ‘Chatty posts’ and ‘Deep Polls’ over and above the current definition of Grapes that is just focused on the number of likes you get 9. An Official Grapevine mixer (details soon!) As always, your feedback and spreading the good word about Grapevine is always appreciated

Is it just me or is grapevine community really small? I keep seeing comments from few selected people only and not many new comments everyday. My experience is based on the "indian Startups" community.

Hey folks, Happy friday! What this post is: a place to hang around and chat just about anything - without having a specific topic to discuss. Think of it like the watercooler at your office. Look forward to hearing from you all :)

Hey folks, update to the latest app to get everything below :)

Why does this community work? Or should I ask, does it really work? Why do people post on it? It could have been just another subreddit of anonymity was the only factor playing here. Do you guys crave for grapes (currency)? What makes you come back and open this app time and again? Just trying to understand the community psychology here.

I have been on grapevine for some months now and this is the best community building app I have ever seen I can talk my heart out and the people here actually come out to support and share their journey and experiences as well. Hats off to the founder who has made grapevine

Hey Folks, On the onset , I would like to welcome all the new members who joined Grapevine over last few days. Grapevine is a nice platform and I really hope all of you will enjoy great conversations and viewpoint on this community . Now to the point why gatekeeping might become essential : I heard some days back , a good man on YouTube posted a video telling his fans about this awesome community. That is why you might have seen outburst of ‘ this is a nice platform ‘ posts on Grapevine. They also thank him in the body of the post xD. Honestly , I am fed up of this non sense posts And my timeline is already cluttered due to this. Now his followers will start highjacking the community. Right now , this being a professional platform , the posts were interactive and decent to read. Now don’t be surprised if you see posts irrelevant to the community. I remember same thing happening with r/developersIndia community some years back and right now , that sub is kinda dead and have repetitive kind of questions which can easily be found if you have taken the effort to search for the posts. Secondly, I won’t be surprised in case their is a difference of opinion with the Guru , people or his followers will start you bashing left , right and centre. I know this post sounds rude and entitled since everyone should have fair opportunity in life , but definition of fair varies as well. I’m very interested in knowing the POV of everyone involved here - may be I am over thinking. But would appreciate your thoughts on this .

Currently I am discovering gv. I am loving it. You don't get doxxed(🤞) + you get to chat and converse with others like it's a WhatsApp group. Kinda love this. Is this just me? or 👀 If so, then what is the idea of social media. To bring more people to a platform or make it a limited area where you don't get to be toxic and making the space enjoyable
