Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

community-forum scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to community-forum — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 130 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Channels: Community & Forum Promotion

Guides forum promotion, community invitation, and vertical community marketing. Community-led growth (CLG) costs ~90% less than paid acquisition with ~3.2x higher customer LTV. Indie Hackers delivers ~23% conversion vs Product Hunt ~3%; HN and Reddit require sustained engagement. For cold start planning (first users, launch channels), see cold-start-strategy. For indie hacker strategy (first 100 users, Build in Public content framework, Indie Hackers tactics), see indie-hacker-strategy.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1-2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Initial Assessment

Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read it for product, audience, and brand voice.

Identify:

  1. Goal: Leads, community growth, brand awareness
  2. Platform fit: Indie Hacker, HN, Reddit, Discord, vertical forums
  3. Timeline: One-time launch vs sustained (4-6 months for Indie Hackers)

Forum Types

Platform Audience Use
Indie Hacker Indie makers, founders Sustained engagement; authentic journey posts; ~23% conversion vs PH 3%
Hacker News Tech, startups Show HN launch; ~1,300 posts/day; front page = luck + timing
Hackernoon Dev, tech readers Content distribution
Industry forums Niche verticals Discount codes for leads; search "[industry] forum"; post event/activity promotion; see discount-marketing-strategy for code strategy
Reddit Subreddit-specific See reddit-posts; 90/10 rule; 29+ posts for traction
Discourse (self-hosted forum) Community-specific Owned forum; full SEO/GEO control; see Discourse SEO section below

Discourse (Self-Hosted Forum) SEO

If you run a Discourse forum (or similar self-hosted forum), SEO/GEO considerations differ from posting on third-party platforms:

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
