Hi everyone, As the community continues to grow, I’ve been thinking about how the onboarding process can be improved to make it more engaging and user-friendly. While our current resources, such as video tutorials, guides, and forums are helpful, I believe there’s room for enhancement to ensure that new users feel comfortable and confident when they first join. I’d like to start a discussion on best practices for onboarding. What strategies have you found to be most effective in making the onboarding experience ‘sticky’ for yourself? Are there specific features within Discourse or other sites that we could leverage better, or perhaps some creative ideas that have worked well in other communities you’ve been part of? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas! 😀 --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/best-practices-for-effective-onboarding-in-discourse-forums/322984)._
