New to Medium? Join these Awesome Communities!
It’s always better when we’re together! 💪😊
Introduction
Hey! I am StrangeCash 👽 and I’ve been writing on Medium for a while.
Today I have decided to gather all Medium Communities in one place.
This list will be constantly updated, so if you want to stay up to date — bookmark this article or subscribe to the list of my stories about Medium. 🙏
Also, I will participate in those listed communities by myself to ensure that this list only brings high-quality information to your life. 😂
Last update: 2023 May; 5 Medium communities listed.
Know a Medium community not listed here?
- Write about it in the comments under this story; 🗯️
- Tag me by typing @strangecash on your Medium article. 👍
Why should you join?
Well, it is quite obvious:
- Gather friends. Finding like-minded people is what these communities are all about, right? :)
- Find valuable information. You will gain more knowledge by reading tips and tricks from other Mediumers.
- Ask questions. Medium gurus will try their best to answer your questions about the platform and its features.
- Find out ideas on what to write about. While actively participating in these communities, you can gain inspiration and ideas on what to write about.
- Promote your stories. Last but not least — these communities are an excellent place to get more views and reads to your Medium stories. It is way better than using follow-for-follow or other black/gray-hat techniques. ⚠️ But of course, don’t act like crazy — don’t spam, and always follow the rules; otherwise, you will be quickly blocked and banned.
List of Medium communities
So without further ado, let’s go: 🚀
- Discord servers (2)
- Telegram groups (1)
- Facebook groups (1)
- Slack workspaces (1)
Discord Servers about Medium
If you already use Discord, feel free to skip a few upcoming paragraphs, because I will briefly explain the Discord platform for inexperienced users.
So according to this official page, Discord is “a voice, video, and text chat app that’s used by tens of millions of people”. You can have a one-on-one chat with others using the “Direct Messages” feature, but ~99% of the time people are chatting in groups/communities/spaces called “Discord Servers”. Those “Discord Servers” usually have different “Channels” and each of those “Channels” has their own specific purpose or topic.
I know that this whole concept could sound complicated for a beginner, but it gets quite easy once you try the platform yourself.
If you have any questions about Discord, feel free to leave them in the comments section below this article. I will be happy to answer and help you 🙃

Telegram groups about Medium
Well, I don’t know if Telegram needs an introduction, but here we go. 😅
Telegram is a super simple chatting app similar to WhatsApp or Viber. Unlike in Discord, there are no separate channels, so when you join a Telegram group, all the discussions are held in the same chat window. So if there are a lot of users chatting at the same time —the conversation can get messy a bit. 🧹
Telegram group: Inkspired

Facebook groups about Medium
Ok, I have to admit that I really deeply hate Facebook. I think it is full of spam, dead content, and so on. 😒
But since I started my Medium journey I challenge myself a lot. And finding quality Facebook groups of Mediumers will be one of my next challenges. 🏋️
If you have any recommendations — please leave them in the comments section. 🗯️
So if I manage to find any valuable FB groups, I will add them to this list later.

Slack workspaces about Medium
I won’t lie to you — I have not used Slack anytime before in my life and joined the platform like 5 minutes ago. 😅
Just because I got invited to join this Slack workspace:
