could you elaborate on some of those topics?
there's plenty of subreddits like r/ecommerce and so on for specific niches (see people doing say dropshipping) off the top of my head, I can think of day by day busy work that might not interest the venture capital focused HN audience but highly important for small businesses like discussing the occassional news in regards to accounting software like quickbooks or payrolls, setting up printers, running ad campaigns and so on but I feel like these kind of discussions are counter productive by creating more capable competition among small businesses against each other. It's the information asymmetry that gives a small businesses an edge to remain relevant before big players, an edge that we sometimes see erased when popularized on free open platforms where small business owners advertise some strategy and then hordes of copy cats following that diminish the value of the strategy in the first place and why I don't see a HN equivalent existing today.
- shivc 2y agoI think I agree with Sandwichukulele here on the subreddits. Twitter is another one where niche communities are business focused, so are some Discord servers, however I wouldn't know how you'd reach the relevant servers though.
- tmaly 2y agoI was looking for a site for single person small businesses that are mostly local.
- codingdave 2y agoIf you want a local community of small business owners, does it even need to be online? Do you have a local chamber of commerce?
