For posterity/other groups: Makes me think tiers are not optimal bc of big drop from $25 to $50 tier. (~LP)
Adding arbitrary donations to tiers such that you can sub as a Rent Contributor but then more would maybe be optimal. Maybe worth talking to Withfriends about this.
Membership jumped up, plateaued, bumped again, plateaued
Hard to say why, but would be good to keep a solid posting schedule and review
Patreon
? Don't have access because of two-factor setup. (~LP)

Socials & Communication Channels Growth (or lack thereof, aside from Instagram)
Need to directly message in order to grow these connections.
Other Thoughts
- Need for dedicated "comms" group to handle
- Collection and confirmation of events from disparate groups and individuals
- Very regular social posting: week schedule, day-of stories/posts
- Using submitted posters, bespoke graphics work, or using existing tools (with feedback/improvement cycle)
- IG, bluesky, withfriends, nonsense, cal.red, etc.
- Social question/comment/message followup
- More standardized copy for various calls to action re: in-space signage, membership calls, socials, lists, etc.
- Need for additional person(s) to help with
- DevOps / infrastructure management and research
- Hosting
- SSO
- Integrations
- Analytics/reporting
- DevOps / infrastructure management and research
