1. Define Your Purpose and Scope

• Mission Statement: Start by defining what your community is about. What are its goals? What kind of activities will it engage in?
• Inclusivity: Decide if your community is strictly for lesbians or if it’s open to allies and other members of the LGBTQ+ community.

7. Focus on Safety and Privacy

• Privacy Settings: If online, ensure your platform or group settings are configured to protect members' privacy.
• Safety Guidelines: Provide guidelines on how members can safely participate, both online and offline.

Member onboarding

• Welcome message with community values, how to get involved, and where to find help.
• Require new members to read and acknowledge the code of conduct.
• Offer mentorship or buddy pairing for newcomers.

7. Legal Considerations

• Non-Profit Status: If your community grows and becomes more formal, you might consider applying for non-profit status, which can provide tax benefits and credibility.
• Consult Legal Advice: Especially if you’re setting up a formal organization, it’s wise to consult with a lawyer on issues like privacy, non-discrimination policies, and intellectual property.
