ahhh i JUST hosted an event exactly for this for the Slack community group here in Toronto haha I def think keep it under 5-7 channels if you can so you don't spread out activity too much Some small tactics that build up over time that I personally like:
tag people in to respond to questions from others if you know they're good champions in the community
do some fun polls on a consistent weekly cadence (this can be about whatever you want but you'll see me doing this in the 🔒[private feed] channel with my QOTW haha and then idk if you've ever been in the Old Girls Club Slack but they have a 'check in rituals' channel that does SUPER well because its a low lift to respond (screenshot of this attached))
in person events if you can manage it!! even one a quarter at a casual coffee shop can go a long way to humanizing people behind the screen

Hi abigail.davies, have you tried running one to one member networking programs? It's helped out our community. I've set some up before so let me know if you need help.
