How community creation differs between web2 and web3

Building community in web3 can still look the same as everything you’ve done up until now. You’re still able to upload and sell your content, connect with people interested in your work, and use social media. The only major difference is that the advantages run a lot deeper.

When you’re considering starting a community in web3, knowing how it works in your favor can help you feel more confident making the transition.

Here are three major differences between web2 and web3 community creation:

1.) Creators have more ownership

Web3 communities are built on ‘decentralized’ platforms where users have more ownership and control over their data and content because there’s no specific company in charge of the blockchain.

That’s different from Web2, where for example, posting to Instagram still means Meta has access to your data and can have some rights over profiting from your content or data.

2.) Communities get more Incentives

Web3 communities can build in more incentives for users to contribute to the platform like digital tokens. Users are better rewarded for their engagement and support making them more likely to be invested in the success of a creator. remx even offers tools to create higher value web3 incentives.

3.) Increased transparency

Web3 communities are built on decentralized platforms, which can create a greater level of transparency around user data and content. People can see how their data is being used and have greater control over their privacy through that knowledge.

Overall, community creation in web3 is built on a more user-driven and community-centric platform, which can lead to more innovation, creativity, and inclusivity within the community. If you want to get started building a web3 community, join the waitlist for the remx platform.
