Hello ![]()
I wanted to start a discussion today that is both a fun trip down memory lane and a guiding light for those who are just starting out with their very first Discourse instance.
Imagine you could send a single message back in time to your past self, who just logged into their Discourse site as an admin for the very first time, opened the dashboard, and was staring at hundreds of settings with a mix of excitement and absolute panic.
What is the one thing you would tell yourself from the future, based on everything you know now? If youโd like, feel free to share the story behind it! ![]()
To start things off, here is what I would tell my beginner self:
โGive yourself time to truly understand the system, and donโt be afraid to ask questions. Learning, experimenting, and seeking help are the things that will allow you to grow and build something great in the future.โ
