Community Questions tap into members' curiosity and personal experiences, creating a safe space for sharing.

Pick a question that fits your community's mood or recent discussions. Post it with a friendly intro and encourage members to share their thoughts or experiences. Rotate question styles regularly to keep things fresh. Respond to comments to keep the thread active and show appreciation for participation.
For all platforms, keep questions concise and visually clear. Use a conversational tone, and consider pinning popular questions or using polls to boost visibility. Adapt formatting as needed for forums, chats, or social feeds.
Community Question posts are an excellent tool to address topics such as ghosting or slow fading, which are unique pain points in the app dating world. Try framing questions like, 'Have you ever experienced ghosting on our app? How did you handle it?' or 'What are your go-to strategies for a slow-to-respond match?' This sparks relatable conversations, fosters empathy, and provides a platform for users to share advice and stories.
To combat dating app fatigue—a common issue—pose Community Questions that offer lighthearted relief or fresh perspectives. Examples include, 'What's been your most memorable first message (good or bad)?' or 'How do you keep dating fun when swiping starts to feel monotonous?' These questions encourage positivity and peer support while validating the burnout many users feel.
Use Community Questions to promote healthy boundaries and safety practices unique to app dating. For example, ask, 'What are your top tips for feeling safe when meeting a match in person?' or 'How do you communicate your boundaries when chatting with someone new?' These prompts both educate and empower the community to prioritize safety.
Pose questions that highlight the importance of authenticity in profiles while discouraging misleading behavior. For example, try 'What makes a dating profile stand out as genuine to you?' or 'Have you ever met someone whose profile didn’t match reality? How did you handle it?' Such discussions promote honesty and help set community standards.
Community Questions can specifically address remote connections, which are increasingly common on dating apps. Examples include, 'What’s your go-to icebreaker for a first video date?' or 'How do you keep a long-distance app connection exciting?' These foster sharing of tips and normalize digital-first dating experiences.
Leverage app features by prompting users to discuss their usage or strategies. For instance, ask, 'Have you ever used a super like? Did it lead to a different kind of conversation?' or 'How do you decide who to swipe right on when you get daily match recommendations?' This not only drives engagement but also provides valuable feedback on feature preferences.
