Oh this is an interesting constraint. So you have a Discourse with 1000 rooms anyone can access but you want the course members to have strong affinity to the particular room.
some questions:
-
What is the value in not using security here? Is
latestjust a giant amount of noise for the typical user? We also have a “by default all categories are suppressed from latest” setting that may be interesting -
Can sidebar alleviate the pain a bit? If you have the category in your sidebar at least it calls it out. Maybe invite should also allow adding to sidebar? I am not sure?

Would spelling stuff out better in the welcome topic help.
To find your home please bookmark the following and add to sidebar, here are the steps
