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: [Bild] 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 fo…

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. [Bild] Understanding and managing bootstrap mode Effects of bootstrap mode During bootstrap mo…

Bootstrap mode had been effectively disabled for a long time, the site setting was default: false for at least a year. 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 It has been replaced by the admin onboarding panel: https://github.com/discourse/discours…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.

Ok, you are right, I completely missed how this used to work. [Bild] Moin: Could it be that there was a job that enabled bootstrap mode instead? Yes, you are right. It was enabled at the time that we removed the feature. (We had disabled it on some scenarios for our hosting.) And on closer …

[Bild] 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 lea…

[Bild] 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 every…

[Bild] 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’t …

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.

Der Bootstrap-Modus umfasste mehr als nur Trust Level 1 und häufigere Zusammenfassungs-E-Mails zur Aktivität. Diese lassen sich durch Änderung der Site-Einstellungen recht einfach nachbilden. Ich kenne jedoch keine Einstellung, mit der das Benutzerverzeichnis aktualisiert wird.
