Original Post

Hey friends,

I just wanted to share that I’ve made some substantial changes to our Discord community. There are a couple of key things that I really want to call out for all of you here:

First, I’m running several events a week to help our campers connect, learn, and grow their skills and network. I definitely recommend checking those out. We’ve got an accountability call, a fireside chat, mentorship sessions, and code reviews! :tada:

Second, I’ve established a dedicated feedback channel where folks can ping me with ideas and thoughts about how we run our community spaces - not just the Discord server, but also this forum and our Reddit community. While you are always welcome to send me feedback here via a direct message, the new Discord channel is probably the fastest way to get in touch with me. :clipboard:

Third, I’ve added some new perks for our generous donors, such as a dedicated channel that only our donors and boosters can post in: a channel where you can actually share and promote the projects you are working on! :partying_face:

Finally, I’d love to breathe some new life and excitement into our community here. If there is anything in particular you’d like to see, drop a comment with your ideas! There are no wrong answers here, this is your community and my role is to help shape it to fit your needs. So I’d love to hear what those needs are! :love:

Hi nhcarrigan,

Thanks for the update! It sounds like you’ve put a lot of effort into enhancing our Discord community. The events you mentioned, especially the mentorship sessions and accountability calls, sound like great opportunities for everyone to connect and improve their skills.

I think the feedback channel is a fantastic idea, too. It’ll be really helpful for gathering ideas directly from members. I’m looking forward to seeing how these changes will make our community even more engaging.

If I think of any suggestions, I’ll share them. Keep up the great work!

Hi, I’m having trouble understanding how the forum works, obviously due to a lack of dedication. I read that they’re opening a channel where we can share and promote the projects we’re working on. The question is, how do I find it?
