Part 6/9:
A project's social media channels—such as Twitter, Discord, Telegram, and Reddit—are essential for gauging community engagement and project activity. Check for the number of followers, member interactions, and whether moderators actively respond to queries. Engage cautiously, especially on platforms like Telegram notorious for scams, where impersonators can attempt to extract personal information from unsuspecting users.
While a large social media following can indicate interest, it doesn't guarantee substance. Be wary of projects that incentivize users to promote their tokens, as this could be a red flag.
