“In a Discord I’m in the admin team asked what would help make it easier for newbies to get involved.
After a discussion they implemented a ‘newbie chat’ where longer term members are encouraged to interact with newbies so they can make friends and feel comfortable before diving into the larger busy chats.”
Helping new people feel comfortable in a space is a really powerful act of kindness. Most of us know how difficult it can be to get involved in a community or group, on Discord or elsewhere, when everyone already knows each other, so implementing things that make it easier makes a big difference.
