<p>Yes, we follow them closely. Key differences:<p>— Mighty's main focus is on top-down content, not messaging with organizers and among members.<p>— Mighty's communities are all separate, with individual accounts and sometimes even separate mobile apps. On Openland people have just one account and inbox for all their communities. Much simpler than Mighty, Slack, or Discord.</p>

<p>Yes, Openland is primarily built for organizers who have the audience but need better tools for onboarding, engagement, moderation, and monetization. Happy to email/chat/talk in more details on what we have. We know the pains of Slack well and have solved many of them. Feel free to reach out at yury@openland.com or <a href="https://openland.com/yury" rel="nofollow">https://openland.com/yury</a><p>The landing page is for community members. We'll add a separate landing page for organizers soon.</p>

<p>We think that sustainable people-first social networking will follow from the new business models. Openland's bet is on SaaS model for community organizers + revenue cut from member-funded communities. This business model has better incentive alignment between Openland platform, members, and organizers.</p>

<p>Dave, congrats for launching your own group on Openland so quickly. We'll help you find members among people who are already on Openland.</p>

<p>I like this analogy! Key differences from Openland to Reddit<p>— Most users use their real name<p>— Focus on direct and group chats, not posts<p>— Ability to save people in contacts, profile hashtags to find interesting people<p>— More professional-grade tools for organizers: automaton, integrations, analytics, payments, etc.</p>

<p>There are two business models here:<p>1. Community is free for members, organizers pay Openland for premium features. This is useful for businesses who use communities for volunteer management, lead generation, product sales, support, and referral programs.<p>2. Members pay organizers, Openland takes the cut. This is useful for various "knowledge products": premium content, consulting, coaching, courses, mastermind groups, and networking clubs.</p>

<p>Fair, there are groups in various languages on Openland and the group language isn't always obvious from the group name. We need to make our community recommendations more aligned with people's preferred languages.<p>The most useful communities on Openland are single language and well-moderated.</p>

<p>Would love to talk more about your community. How can I reach you? I am at yury@openland.com<p>We guarantee easy export for all organizers. If something goes wrong or you simply want to move elsewhere, we will not keep you locked in.</p>

<p>Readability is a big priority for us, we'll keep working to make it better across all devices. Yes, the web version is only resizable with the browser itself. For more control over the app dimensions, consider using Openland for Windows.</p>

<p>Thanks Sasha! The magic of new messengers and new communities is that early on, its always a special group of people. There is culture of trust and collaboration. Hopefully, we'll be able to keep this spirit as we grow.</p>

<p>Yes, this is high on our priority list. In general, we'd like to work with every business-in-a-box platform (Coursera for teachers, Shopify for sellers, Spotify for musicians, etc.) to help their creators run customer/follower/fan communities.</p>

<p>Thanks! Openland is almost intentionally very close to FB Messenger, WhatsApp, and Telegram in its user experience. We want to make it super familiar and easy to participate for everyday people who join for access to special communities and people we have on the platform.<p>Today, our biggest and most distinct advantages are on the organizer side. Automation and integrations are key for larger organizations and individual leaders to launch and operate their communities. With Openland there will be more communities in the world.</p>

<p>Thanks! Indeed, we strive for simplicity. It's still too hard for people and organizations to start a chat group or multi-chat community. More to be done here with community templates, organizer resources, and organizer onboarding.</p>

<p>Very interesting! We actually use the system fonts. I.e. Openland is set in San Francisco on Mac/iOS, Roboto on Android, and Calibri on Windows. We do this to minimize distraction of an unusual font.<p>On column width, I am curious, what device and browser size have you used? Many of our users use the desktop version and resize it to the proportions they like.</p>
