We treat the community very seriously because it’s a critical element of our project. So, our community is being engaged via our app (by submitting, upvoting, and commenting on links every day) and a Telegram group chat where we co-create the product with our users.

We also share our community-building learnings via [articles](https://kanfa.macbudkowski.com/community-building-lessons-kiwi) and [talks](https://cfp.ethwarsaw.dev/ethwarsaw-2024/talk/7WCCQX/)

When it comes to funding, we rejected VC offers and decided to build an independent social media project based on public goods funding & revenue. If we succeed in that path, our story could encourage other builders to follow this path - just like ENS has been an inspiration to us.
