Community & Growth Lead for Open-Source Local AI Project (Dream Server)

Posted 3 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

About the project Dream Server is an open-source tool for running AI models locally on your own hardware — no cloud, no API keys, full data ownership. It's built by Light Heart Labs. It's grown to 1,800+ GitHub stars in 90 days with roughly 200 new downloads per day, and the community has been growing right alongside it. I'm looking for someone to take ownership of that growth across every platform we live on. Take a look before you apply: GitHub: https://github.com/Light-Heart-Labs/DreamServer Discord: https://discord.gg/qGVygYada3 Reddit: r/dreamserver The role You'll own and grow the Dream Server community across Discord, Reddit, X, and any other platform that makes sense. This is a hands-on growth role — part community management, part social, part connective tissue between users and the project. I want someone versatile who can move between platforms and wear a few hats comfortably. What you'll do Own and grow our Discord: onboarding, engagement, tone, structure, moderation, and bots Grow r/dreamserver and stay active where our audience already hangs out Build our presence on X — posts, threads, engaging with the local AI scene Spot opportunities on new platforms and run with them Run light events: AMAs, release threads, community calls Be the bridge between the community and me — surface feedback, feature requests, and recurring pain points What I'm looking for A versatile skill set. You're comfortable moving between Discord management, Reddit, and X, and you don't need hand-holding to figure out a new platform. Real fluency with technical / AI / open-source communities. You don't need to code, but you need to be at home around local AI, GPUs, and a knowledgeable crowd. A generic community manager won't land here. Ideally, you already use Dream Server (or tools like it) — Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp, vLLM, etc. The best person for this is probably already running local AI. Strong written English and a natural, non-corporate voice Proven experience growing at least one online community or audience Self-directed and good at reading a room Nice to have You're already a Dream Server user or active in the local AI community Experience with open-source project communities A track record growing an Discord / Reddit following Light technical writing (announcements, pinned guides, FAQs) To apply, please answer: Which community or audience have you grown, and what did it look like before vs. after? Share links to communities or accounts you've run (Discord, Reddit, X — whatever you've got). Have you used Dream Server or tools like it? In a sentence or two, how would you pitch it to someone? Generic copy-paste applications will be skipped — I read every answer, and question 3 tells me whether you actually get the space.
