Communities: The good, bad, and the ugly?

I'm doing some freelance community building, as well as looking to overhaul my own.

I'd love to hear your take on four questions:

What communities are you a part of that are most engaging?
What makes those communities engaging?
What community platforms do you specifically love or hate
What frustrates you in online communities?

Thanks in advance!

Say something nice to jayclouse…

1. Several subreddits I visit tick this box for me /r/mma in particular
2. Quality moderation is one of the biggest differences I've seen (at least for Reddit)
3. I'm not a fan of communities where people are totally anonymous, upvote / downvote systems are always a plus.
4. Rampant low effort self promotion is usually a tell of a poorly run community for me.

  Love and agree with all of this. How much do you engage in a native desktop or mobile app vs. in browser?

    Mostly on my desktop. If I'm out and I need to kill some time, then I'll use a mobile app.
