I suspect this might have to be a #Marketplace topic, but I’d like to start here because I feel there’s merit for it from a community standpoint. Shortly we’re going to start a process of welcoming new members weekly in a new topic under our announcements category. The post will tag the new members and have a short call to action to introduce themselves. I understand that there an automated direct message that they get as part of Discourse, so this would be an additional call to engage. **From the community perspective, the goal is to** - Creating weekly “cohorts” so that there is a potential creation of a bond between that specific group. A sense of commonality. - Show that they weren’t the only person that signed up this week. Others did too, so they made the right decision by joining the community. - With those two in mind, encourage them to introduce themselves to the cohort for that week and therefore the community at large. @HAWK might be able to add some insights from the community/engagement side too. Could this process be automated? I’m sure there is a limit for the number of tagged people in a topic… but until certain communities hit that point, I think this is worth exploring. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/automated-scheduled-welcome-post-that-tags-new-members/105233)._
