Community Weekly started as a response to the burnout I experienced in 2020. At the time the project was called Community Finder, which was basically a list of communities that people could discover and join. When Community Finder started to get some traction I had this “amazing” idea in my head “this thing should grow fast, and now!” So in addition to Community Finder, I also started a podcast, a newsletter and published a new article a week. All by myself. And as you might imagine this is where burnout entered the chat. As a response to that I made some radical changes. I stopped the Community Finder project, I stopped the podcast, and I only started to write the newsletter, and quickly changed it to Community Weekly. That is how the publication originated.
