We are the #1 Tech group on Skool! 🤩 Congrats Sam, team and everyone in here 🙌 There were less than 10,000 of us when I first arrived, we are now fast approaching 200,000! 😱

✨✨✨🎉🎉🎉✨✨✨ Imagine that, I first landed here this time last year in November 2023 👀 not knowing what I was about to embark on…it didn’t happen straight away because I joined through a community… I had to create this strange login yet it seemed pretty straightforward, it was all so new, it was kind of cool yet I had no idea how it all worked… Back in early January 2024, I hadn’t yet put two and two together that Sam Ovens had vanished because he had been responsible for creating this incredible platform known as Skool 🤭 I kept my ears out and all of a sudden when I realised that Hormozi was in fact investing into Skool all of a sudden my ears pricked up real fast 🤣🤣 It had suddenly dawned on me what was about to unfold…I screamed out loud the first time it hit me of the possibilities of Skool communities 🙌🏽✨ I just knew what this meant for people all over the world 🥹🔥🔥🔥🙌🏽 I spent the last few weeks in January 2024 learning all that I could about the Skool platform, it was almost too easy to not understand it all 😄 I knew I stood a chance to make this happen, to actually create a community space for entrepreneurs wanting to rebrand even though I felt in no way ready… it certainly wasn’t on the cards for me just yet or so I thought 👀 It’s like I had fallen in love with the way that most people on the platform had this great vibe for other people to make a success of their lives and business… the speed of learning inspired me all on its own, you can guarantee I learnt far more in 30 days of being on Skool than 1 year of being in groups on socials 🤯 Just simply being on Skool got me to do so many things I would have otherwise put off 😱 Under no circumstances should you let anything hold back from creating your own community, I say this as a mother of 3 managing a sightloss condition, if I can do this so can you ❤️🔥✨ Skool has been the most incredible space for me, I’ve met so many amazing people, incredible friends 🥹 this place so refreshing in comparison to any other platform I have experienced 🙏🏽

For users, it's frustrating to get your post deleted and not know why. For admins, it's frustrating to have to constantly explain why you're deleting someone's post. So Skool now has "Delete With Reason"! When you delete someone's post or comment you can now select which rule they broke and even give some additional feedback. If you select a reason or give feedback, the user will be emailed (see below). If you don't select a reason or give feedback, the user will not be emailed. Hope this helps.

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!

Before: The same groups showed every time you visit (meaning a few groups grow) After: Different groups show every time - try refreshing (meaning lots of groups grow) Before: Primarily focused on quantity (posts, comments, members) After: Primarily focused on quality (retention, engagement, members keep visiting) Before: One overall ranking (painting groups compete with business groups) After: Different rankings per category (each category competes with itself, evening the playing field) - Check it out and see what you think for yourself: https://www.skool.com/discovery. I think it reveals some really wholesome groups. - Note 1: Retention doesn't just apply to paid groups. If members regularly visit a free community for long into the future, that means you have good retention! We reward groups with high retention. Note 2: For more information we have three help docs. How to rank higher in Discovery? Why isn't my group visible in Discovery? How is my group categorized? Note 3: "We're fixing some bugs with the new discovery algorithm so things may change over the next few days. Don't read too much into the current rankings till the dust settles. This change will definitely help more groups get discovered." - @Sam Ovens
