About The Hive Index
The Hive Index is a web directory of online communities. It lists communities on platforms including Discord, Reddit, Slack, Facebook, Skool, LinkedIn, X, WhatsApp, and Telegram. The homepage reports 5,683 communities organized under 286 topics and 36 platforms, and it says it has been curating communities since 2021.
Users can browse by topic, by platform, or by feature tags such as forums, live chat, events, newsletters, job boards, mentorship pairing, and tools. Each listing shows member counts, platform, features, and a direct link, which allows communities to be compared side by side. Visitors can also submit a community that is missing or suggest a new topic. The site describes its listings as free to browse and free to submit. Pricing for the communities themselves is not stated and varies by community, since some are listed as requiring payment or an application to join.
