I really enjoy using discourse, and at this point I think I’ve joined dozens of various discourses across the open source community. Joining the new discourse is actually a pretty common activity for me, and I do find various low-level badge notifications like “editor” annoying. I see how they can be useful for users new to the platform, to teach them what’s available.
But, as a discourse veteran, I’d love there to be some form of “skip tutorial” checkbox when I register for a new discourse.
I think this is different. What I am talking about are notifications for badges specifically. Skipping the tutorial doesn’t remove the “Earned ‘First Like’” notification. Basically, as a new user, I need to dismiss a notification for any action I do, as many actions are awarded with some kind of “First” badge.
Looks like Zig is running an over 6 months old install that is missing several fixes, including security ones. You may want to ask the admins to update it ASAP.
