Devil’s advocate:  
Are you designing for the way people use your community, or how you _think_ they will?

In my experience, people either come to a community and immediately search for what they need, or they post based on the CTA that brought them in (a “post here” email etc).

Rather than presenting people with choices/categories, presenting them with social proof might be a better driver for engagement.
