Is Facebook still relevant for building the product community?

Question

Hey Product Hunters!

Building community around your product is so important, now days we mostly turn to Twitter or Instagram while Facebook is still the biggest platform out there.

Is Facebook still a thing?

Aida Zu · Accepted Answer

Nah, Facebook's target audiences are mostly like 40-50+ people. They care about medication, gardening tools and so.

Not close to products and tech at all.

Instead of Facebook, it worths to look at Reddit

I guess it depends on your audience but as I have a large focus on Gen Z/ young Millennials, I stick with TikTok and Discord for community building!

@udayparmar Yes I was surfing around FB groups and there are plenty of very useful communities, somehow we mostly run to Twitter 90% of time.

@aidai_zu Medications, gardening tools 😅I love it. But there are some pretty big communities and pretty active especially in the software development, marketing and so on. I didn't use it for years but I was surprised to see many active communities.
