Best Of

What is the best example of a community that I have seen?

When I reflect on the many communities, I’ve been part of — whether professional networks, local groups, or online forums — one stands out brightly: the Smartsheet community.

What makes this group so special? It’s not just the shared knowledge or the tips and tricks exchanged (though those are valuable too). It’s the spirit behind the interactions. Every time I read the comments, suggestions, or ideas shared in that space, I feel something deeper:

• Empathy — People genuinely care about each other’s challenges and wins.
• Happiness — There’s a joy in helping, in lifting others up, that radiates through every thread.
• Generosity — Folks are not just answering questions; they’re offering their time, their lessons learned, and sometimes even reaching out directly to offer help.

I’ve been personally touched by this, receiving unexpected support and encouragement from members who just wanted to help.

Being part of this community makes me feel honored — like I’m standing among people who are not just experts, but also kind-hearted collaborators. It’s a reminder that the best communities aren’t just about what you know; they’re about how you share it.

Is there any other community than this Smartsheet Community? Do you even Community? This Community is the only one I've ever found myself participate in. In other communities I'm just a lurker.

This is the funniest feed. I would explain this the same to a 5 year old as to an adult. I make people smile and keep them present. I work with people making their lives a little nicer and easier every day. Be Kind, share a smile. We don't have enough of it in our world.
