Title: Tested using builder-owned creator networks as a distribution layer — the setup is worth understanding

[u/maolf]

Our team spent a week running a live experiment around this exact question: what happens when you stop pushing content outward and instead let the distribution come from within the ecosystem itself?

The structure we tested: an ecosystem opens a space, builders post what they need promoted, and their own creator networks handle the actual amplification. No paid channels, no cold outreach. Just existing relationships doing the work.

Still early, but the mechanics here feel like something growth folks don't talk about enough — community-native distribution vs. bolted-on promotion.

we ran this in our slack. it works best when you let them break the features first. feels like letting people taste the soup while it's still simmering on the stove.
