Picking only one? Solve a clear and common problem for that community in an obvious way, and become the most most helpful place for people in that community to go. Do whatever you can to be helpful.
In my case, we’re making a platform for movie recommendations in short-form video. When people post and comment, seeking new recs, I give the best ones I can find! I watch thousands and thousands of movies, because being an encyclopedia is what helps that community.
Hope that helps!
