What it does

Use when the user wants to show up in OTHER communities without astroturfing, Reddit, Facebook Groups, Discord, Slack, LinkedIn groups, Quora, and niche forums: a prioritized community list with the rules of each space, a named participant roster, post types written in full, reply scripts, a participation calendar, and red lines. Trigger on 'community marketing', 'Reddit marketing', 'seeding plan', 'post in Facebook groups', 'answer questions on Quora', 'we got banned from a group'. Not for, building your OWN paid or private community, see `28-community-building-global`; monitoring mentions across the web, see `15-social-listening-global`; briefing paid creators, see `06-ugc-egc-brief-global`.

Community Seeding (Global)

Community marketing done properly is participation, not placement. A brand earns the right to mention itself by being useful first, under a real name, in communities whose rules it has actually read. Manufactured engagement, sockpuppets, brand-written reviews, coordinated voting, is both against every major platform's rules and, in the US, against FTC rules. Getting caught is a bigger loss than never posting.

Full per-platform rules, disclosure mechanics, and cadence limits: read references/platform-rules.md.

Information gathering

Read .agents/product-marketing-context-global.md and the insight file (09-customer-insight-global) first. If information is missing, ask up to 4 questions:

  1. What is being marketed, and which communities does the target audience actually spend time in? (subreddits, Discord servers, Slack groups, Facebook Groups, LinkedIn groups, Quora topics, niche forums)
  2. What is the objective? Awareness / qualified leads / traffic / genuine social proof / product feedback
  3. Who on the team will participate under their real name, and how much time per week can they give?
  4. Has the brand posted in these communities before, what happened, and was anything removed or banned?
