## Description

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.

## 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?**
