Hi there Discourse looks amazing. Wow! A big change from my old days using phpbb. In the past, admittedly a long time ago now, I’ve had greater success starting new forums by initially seeding some content. A little social proof does wonders for engagement levels! Would love to know whether it is…

[imagen] joesed: Certainly not trying to be disingenuous, but I think it’s important to get the ball rolling with some posts. That way, others are more likely to join in. Hey Joe, You’re definitely right about social proof, but creating fake users is questionable practice and I’d strongly re…

[imagen] joesed: Is it possible to do this without having either 200 email addresses or 200 social accounts? Seems disingenuous, but you can create multiple users with a single email account by using email addresses like this: my.gmail.username@gmail.com my.gmail.username+user1@gmail.com my…

Hi Sergiz and Jay Thank you both for these suggestions. I’m not a coder, so I’d probably look at doing things your way Jay. Certainly not trying to be disingenuous, but I think it’s important to get the ball rolling with some posts. That way, others are more likely to join in. Once again, many t…

If you already have the 1000 posts and 200 usernames created in some machine-readable format it would probably be worth a few minutes to look at how the API works and/or paying someone to do it for you, but then, I’m a programmer, so I would think that. Or course, I’d rather spend 20 hours writing c…

Hi @HAWK I think you make a really great point. I read your article and it makes a lot of sense. Developing a community the right way might take a bit longer but I think it will be better in the long run. You have turned me around. I think my thinking is a little 2009. Once again, many thanks J…

Heh, awesome. Good on you. :slight_smile: [imagen] joesed: Developing a community the right way might take a bit longer but I think it will be better in the long run. [/quote] Yup! If you want support or resources, I manage a free community about community building here . You’re welcome to join…

Hi @HAWK Thanks so much for that. I will take you up on that offer to join your community as well if that’s okay. That’s really cool. Thanks! And to everyone else who helped out, much respect. Thank you. Cheers Joe

I don’t think this is possible as the posts section in api doesn’t have user id. http://docs.discourse.org/#tag/Posts How to tag response with an user? @pfaffman

I cannot imagine that the API for posts doesn’t include the userid. Perhaps the documentation is wrong. There is a post about reverse engineering the API that might help,

Can you point out the link here? Will check it out!
