Community search engines
Community Search Engines is the label for a set of approaches to interconnect communities.
These communities are formed by:
- Events such as conferences
- Digital spaces, such as a Discord server
These are often communities of interest, but can also considered to be trust relationships: if you are connected to a group of people you may extend trust to other recommendations they make.
