Where to Start

Communities on taron are built around shared interests, industries, cultures, and goals. Finding the right ones significantly improves your taron experience — your feed becomes more relevant, your event discovery becomes more accurate, and the connections you make inside those communities tend to be more meaningful than cold-start interactions.

Ways to Discover Communities

Through events — Every event on taron may be connected to a Community. After attending an experience that resonates, check the Event Page for a community link. Hosts who have built communities around their work surface them prominently.

Through host profiles — A host's profile shows the communities they manage or participate in. If you find a host whose events consistently interest you, the communities linked to their profile are worth exploring.

Through your Home Feed — Community recommendations appear in your feed based on your selected interests and activity. The more accurately your interests reflect what you care about, the more relevant these suggestions become.

Through search — Search by topic, keyword, or interest area to find communities focused on specific subjects. For Africans in the diaspora, searching by location (Lagos professionals, Ghanaian creatives in London) often surfaces communities built around shared geography and identity.

Through Groups — Some Groups are connected to larger Communities. Following the thread from a Group to its parent Community can surface spaces you would not have found otherwise.

How to Evaluate Before Joining

Read the Community description carefully — it should tell you clearly who the space is for and what kinds of experiences and conversations happen there. Look at visible activity levels if shown. A Community with recent posts and upcoming events is more likely to deliver value than one that has not been active in months.

Consider whether the purpose matches your actual goal. A professional networking community and a cultural community may both be relevant to your identity, but they serve different purposes. Join both if you genuinely intend to participate in both.

Common Questions

How do I search for Communities?

Use taron's search function and browse by topic, interest, or keyword. Communities appear alongside events and profiles in search results.

Can I join multiple Communities?

Yes. Join as many as you genuinely intend to participate in. Communities become more valuable through active engagement — joining without participating adds little value to you or the community.

Are Communities the same as Groups?

No. Communities are broader spaces around shared interests open to many members. Groups are smaller, focused spaces for specific collaboration or projects.

What if I join and it is not relevant?

Leave and look for a better fit. Your Community memberships should reflect spaces you actively want to be part of.
