How ecosystems work
An ecosystem is an industry's home on UmayNow: Gaming, Software & SaaS, Artificial Intelligence and so on. Each has narrower areas inside it. You join the ecosystems that match your industry automatically and follow others.

Good to know
- Member or follower: if your industry or your company's industry matches the ecosystem, you are a member and your posts count there. Otherwise you just follow it.
- You join up to 3 ecosystems from your own industries and up to 2 from your company's automatically. These don't use your picks.
- You can show a post only to the members of one ecosystem.
- Groups that pick an industry show in the matching ecosystem too.
- New ecosystems open on their own as enough companies and people join that industry.
