Now we show the top 5 groups from every category on the homepage in random order. This gives groups from all categories a better chance of being discovered. Plus it's more fun. We used to rank all groups globally, now we rank them per category. We tried a new algorithm, but as many of you pointed out, it wasn't very good. We reverted to the original algorithm. Thank you for your feedback. Our intention is to make things better, and we did, but we had to make things worse for 24h to get there. Sorry about that. More detail in the video. Enjoy!

Skool’s Single DM forces the community part to thrive. We hear the request all the time. “Group DM chat please” Silly, silly idea. I understand why one would say that, I’d like to tell you why that’s getting it wrong. ➡️ The Community IS the group chat!!! If you want to have business chats or meetings etc, Do those somewhere else. Steve Jobs thought like this a lot. When people complained, he’d say then don’t do it that way, it’s not meant to be used like that. Extreme yes, but Skool isn’t meant to be used like this! If Skool added group DMs, it would cause the Domino Effect. Now you need new filters, new notification settings, new organization of this and that and there will inevitably be new bots and bugs to fix let alone other unforeseen issues. Any newcomer coming to Skool would likely feel overwhelmed by this alone. I STILL get overwhelmed by all the different channels in discord for example! I would use Skool less almost immediately if group DMs were implemented. or if just feel deflated all the time going through them. It’s perfect as is. Skool is a fun welcoming community. Not a a stuffy private party. Comment “skool rools” if you agree! Comment why you think I’m wrong?

📏👋🏻 Stumbled across the new rules section yesterday. Not sure exactly how we're going to utilize it, but i'd like to hear how you all are going to use it! ㅤ *Bonus: How could it be better?

I am trying to recommend the best CRM for my members to use with their community and/or businesses. I’ve extensively used Mailchimp, SendGrid, Pipedrive, and Salesforce, but I know a lot of people also use HubSpot, GoHighLevel, ActiveCampaign, and Systeme.io. What do you use? How much does it cost? Does it connect to Zapier? What are the pros and cons? Thank you.

Thanks to all of those of you that voted to upgrade the Skool Whip! Step 1: done Step 2: coming soon…
