Can someone please help me understand why this was removed, what the rationale was and what initiative/functionality replaced it? (If any) https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/edb1c651495f601873c3350d146c186873081e16 (no particular axe to grind, just keen to know)

For background, see previously: [imagem] What is Bootstrap Mode To help a new install get started quickly, bootstrap mode boosts new user’s initial trust level to 1 as long as there are less than 50 members (and for an additional 24 hours after that). After that, you hopefully have enough posts …

Bootstrap mode was more than TL1 and more frequent activity summary emails. Those can quite easily be replicated by changing site settings. But I don’t know any setting for updating the user directory. [imagem] Understanding and managing bootstrap mode Effects of bootstrap mode During bootstrap …

And as a setting for new sites, that essentially means that we weren’t using the feature. It has been replaced by the admin onboarding panel: https://github.com/discourse/discours…

Good question, I need to research better how this used to work.

[imagem] pmusaraj: granting TL1 to the first group of new users That’s actually what I found least helpful. The “first day” limitations apply to users at TL1 just as much as they do to those at TL0; if you want users to be able to post more on their first day, you have to promote them to at l…

[imagem] Moin: I also liked that the user directory was updated more frequently. I understand why it is not possible with many users. But wouldn’t it be possible to do this until a certain number of users is reached? Yes, this is possible. Currently we update the daily user directory view eve…

[imagem] pmusaraj: This PR DEV: refresh user directory more often for sites with few users · Pull Request #39852 · discourse/discourse will update all views every hour for a site with less than 100 users (hidden setting for now). What is it set to normally? I never even noticed that /u doesn’…

It depends on the view. The Daily view is updated every hour, the other views are updated every day. So when you join a site, if you go quickly to the directory and you land on the weekly view, you won’t see yourself there immediately.
