Most enterprise brands avoid engaging with Reddit, leaving their subreddits to anonymous moderators. Databricks opted for a different strategy by taking control of their subreddit, r/databricks. They transformed it into an active community by combining seasoned moderators with employees and trusted advocates. As a result, the subreddit now attracts over 10,000 organic visits monthly, ranks for hundreds of relevant keywords, and serves as a valuable feedback channel for product teams. Databricks initially faced challenges, with their subreddit set as private and inactive. An employee, u/lothorp, took initiative to reclaim it, leading to a relaunch that encouraged open discussions. The subreddit has since grown to 20,000 members, with around 450 weekly contributions. Moderators keep the structure simple, focusing on essential topics like general discussions, help requests, and tutorials, while also using megathreads to contain recurring discussions about hiring and certifications. The moderation team combines experienced Reddit users and Databricks staff, fostering credibility and trust. Employees actively participate by answering questions and providing insights, which adds authority to discussions. Databricks also engages industry advocates with substantial followings, enhancing the community's depth. This blend of internal and external voices allows Databricks to maintain a user-centered approach, turning the subreddit into a robust platform for feedback and engagement.
