UUKI - Alternative to Circle.so and Tribe
I grabbed a few codes from this deal and I'm excited about what this community platform will blossom into. I've been looking for a forum for my communities, where people can post questions and get answers, but also an alternative to FB groups cuz some ppl don't want to be on FB anymore.
UUKI allows you to set your feed posts to look like a forum, or like a FB group newsfeed, or in a set of cards or tiles on the screen, so you can choose how you want your community's information to be displayed. I like this a lot cuz I can have a section that acts like a forum, and a section that acts like a FB group newsfeed.
You can allow members to share posts on social media, so you can get new eyes on your community and grow it, or you can keep posts completely private. You can allow members to post anonymously as well if you like, which can mean that people who are too shy to ask a question will ask it now, cuz they don't have to feel like they are asking a ""dumb question"" and can also feel free to share something personal without revealing their identity.
You can link your social media and websites in your community as well, and choose where on the screen those links live, which is nice. I like them on the right hand navigation.
Elements of gamification are already built in, like karma, rank, and leaderboard. You can name the ranks whatever you like, so it fits yor brand. Im looking forward to even more gamification to keep memebers engaged and coming back for more.
You can post polls, images, videos, and links. You can turn on ""trending posts"" as a way for people to find some of the most engaging content quickly.
You can choose moderators and they have their own mod dashboard to look over things, like invites, reported posts and comments, unapproved posts and banned words, and there's a moderation log as well so you can look back at your mods' work.
There are community analytics, though I havent gotten to test this yet as I havent made my community live yet. So far, it shows top performing posts, top topics, most engagemed members, and most popular days to post. Looking forward to what else they will being to their analytics.
There's more features I haven't gotten to playwith yet, like API, Webhooks, tags, and other things in the community settings section.
I'm excited to see new features and updates as they roll in. It'll be great to see features that allow us to fully replace FB groups, circle.so, tribe, discord, patreon, and the like.
