Earlier this year, I took Community Management classes with C School and learned lots of great tactics for working in community. One major takeaway I picked up from the course is using "ritual" posts.
Ritual posts are basically posts that you share on a regular cadence (weekly/monthly/etc.) to establish a rhythm that your audience can follow and to relieve yourself of having to think up new ideas to post about every time. We have various ritual posts we share across DEV (the Top 7, What Was Your Win this Week, Follow Friday, etc.) and I even use this tactic for my own personal Music Monday series.

Clearly, you don't want to overuse this tactic as it can distract you from creating interesting posts that don't follow a formula. But, at the same time, using ritual posts you can create really fun experiences that folks can tune into weekly and lessen the burden on yourself as a content creator.
Do you have any ritual posts that you like to share? Any ideas for a ritual you might wanna start? What thoughts would you keep in mind when crafting a ritual post?
