Hey Product Hunt! I'm Fed and I've been researching, curating, and promoting online communities on the Hive Index. I've been blown away by the inspiration, support, and helpful resources that online communities provide for their members, and I want that to be accessible to anyone that wants it. The Hive Index organizes online communities by topic, platforms, size, and features of the community, so that users can find the perfect fit for their needs. What started as a small list of my favorite entrepreneurship groups has quickly grown into much more. I've recruited my talented little sister to help with the curation of new community topics & design of the website, and in the past couple of months we've grown the directory to over 1100 communities across 88 different topics. Now the Hive Index helps thousands of people find community every single week. Our goal with this launch is to improve this free resource with some help from you. If you are part of an amazing community that's not listed, let's add it. If you think we should curate a new topic or add a new platform, let us know. Thanks for your support!

@thefedoration does it have different topics , for example fintech, investors community?
Fed
@_1_ras Yes it does! We have 88 topics total right now. That includes finance, stock market, venture capital, crypto, and financial independence communities

Congrats on the launch @thefedoration!! Communities play a very important role in shaping one's lives, atleast it changed the direction of my career. You have done really nice work building Hive Index, its a great directory of communities, hope more individuals find it and join communities :) Also can't believe this is for free!!
Fed
@sagar_devkate Thank you Sagar! I feel the same way, online communities have helped me so much in my own journey as a bootstrapped entrepreneur, and I'm excited to pass it forward.
Amazing site - been following Gummy Search but didn't know you had this too. One of the first things I'm going to do in the New Year is go through this and find some relevant communities for my product launch.
Fed
@maxwellcdavis Yeah it's been fun to work on both. I actually got the inspiration for GummySearch after joining all of these communities when curating the Hive Index. But that's a story for another PH launch :) Enjoy, and good luck with your upcoming launch!
Grant Shaddick
I've found it hard discovering communities beyond the obvious ones on the major platforms so it's very cool to see Hive Index launch.
Fed
@9rantys Thanks Grant! Certain platforms make it easy to find communities, and for some you really need to be invited to find out about it. I'm excited to help make communities discoverable, no matter the platform, topic, or community style.
Jeff
Great product, good luck today!
Fed
@jesv Appreciate the support, Jeff!
Aso Enterprises
I made several searches for music related platforms of interest specifically mandolin and Fiddle, and wasn't able to find anything. How can I create my own?
Fed
@aso_enterprises Thanks for the suggestion, we'll put some up and let you know! If you know of any existing mandolin/fiddle communities, you can submit via the "Submit" button in the header or just send me the url and I'll put up the info. Thanks :)
Rodrigo G Tomaz
@aso_enterprises @thefedoration if you allow me, I'd like to suggest the app Zipstage (link below) for both Music and Poetry Communities. Let me know in case you have any question or need any additional information, please. https://play.google.com/store/ap...
Fed
@rodrigogtomaz Thanks for the suggestion, Rodrigo! Is this your app? If so, please submit the info in this form and I'd be happy to get your community live. Will be nice to start a new page for Android platform communities. https://thehiveindex.com/submit/
Rodrigo G Tomaz
@thefedoration, Thank you so much for your feedback! Yes, Zipstage is a project that I have recently released on Google Play Store. It's an app where people can create music, poetry, storytelling, or any kind of audio content in collaboration with people from anywhere in the world. I will definitely submit it at The Hive Index. Thank you so much for the opportunity! Have a great week Fed! Cheers.
Motyar
Wow! A well done product!
Fed
@motyar Thanks Motyar! I think the social share cards by Bruzu are what really make it work ;)
Maria
Very nice product! It is very well divided in sections, easy to navigate, and it is based on such a good idea! Bravo! Congratulations for launching it! ^_^
Fed
@maria_brm Thank you Maria 🤗
Maria
@thefedoration Btw, could you tell me please, is Hive Index integrated with Slack or Teams? :))
Fed
@maria_brm It's not integrated with either right now, but we do have 143 slack communities listed
Maria
@thefedoration Good to know! Thanks a lot for the answer! I can't wait to start buzzing in the Hive! ^_^
Richie
You're a legend, Fed.

@thibaultll Thanks Tibo!
Yehoshua Zlotogorski
Awesome Product Fed! Definitely answering a real need for builder and marketers.
Fed
@yehoshua_zlotogorski Thanks for your support Yehoshua! Yes the resource can be valuable for those who build products to serve their communities. But beyond that, I'm hoping to connect like-minded souls and provide access to peer groups that folks might not have found otherwise.
Jonathan Barone
I recently discovered the Hive Index and directly loved it. It is useful to explore and find communities per topic of interests. Congrats Fed! 👏
Fed
@jonathan_barone Love to hear that Jonathan! Thanks for adding to the site as well, you're the real MVP
Atul Ghorpade

David Choe
Love this Fed! It's come a long way since I first used it and it was awesome even then.
Fed
@david_choe2 Thanks David!
Daniel Obiokeke
There's a huge volume of communities out there that we can't even keep track of or vet their validity. This is a good diary of awesome communities. I went to the crypto section and I llllllike it.
Fed
@daniel_obiokeke Thanks Daniel! So true. I'm starting to roll out community reviews too, which will be an additional datapoint that people can use to find the right one for them. Curating the crypto/DeFi/NFT/web3 communities was a blast. What a crazy new world
Tom Guthrie
Congrats! Communities are so powerful - it's great to have more ways to find them.
Fed
@taguthrie Thanks. The power of community is an amazing thing. I'm excited to make it more accessible
Cary Telander Fortin
Already joined three groups of female founders. This is SO helpful to see all of these groups in a single place.
Fed
@cary_fortin That's what I love to hear!
Michael Yagudaev
Important resource for our founder community and great job curating different communities ❤️
Fed
@michael_yagudaev Thanks Michael :) Appreciate it
