Adding a #welcome tag for newcomers

Site feedback
2

Oh, it’s been a loooooong time I didn’t go through newcomers areas. :sweat_smile:

Here is what I use on stock forums:

  1. The default “Welcome to Discourse” topic, here that would be New to Discourse? Start here!
  2. An Introductions topic, where people can say hello and be welcome
  3. The category description for the general category (or Agora, Community…)
  4. A Get Started topic in Site feedback

The essential is to guide the reader through key areas of the community, and suggest entry points to the community.

See for example Topics tagged welcome on TALER Integrations Community Hub.
