The purpose of this study is to explore the characteristics of users' participation in community interaction based on the experience in participating in the community and the data collected. [Method/process] This paper collects Zhihu community "Xiaomi Mobile Phone" topic data of a single month, uses social network analysis method and observation, and then uses Pajek to analyze the collected data. [Result/conclusion] The research shows that the community members take the problem as the center and form an interactive relationship through the Q&A.
