  • Category Reorganization: A new structure to help users focus on relevant conversations, detailed in this topic mcwumbly.
  • Visual Redesign: The site’s look and feel have already been updated to match the main Discourse website, featuring a purple color scheme. Feedback on this change is being collected in a dedicated topic by @NateDhaliwal mcwumbly.
  • Theme Improvements: Further enhancements to the theme to make finding activity-specific content easier are planned for the near future.

While the team aims to incorporate community feedback, they note that final decisions will prioritize the best interests of the community as a whole.

:waving_hand: hey folks, we’re working on making some changes to meta and we want to get your early feedback.

Meta is a diverse community made of groups with different needs. We want to make sure that everyone feels welcome here.

We want to make it easy for people to participate in the conversations that most interest them, without being overwhelmed by things that they find less relevant.

With that in mind, here are some of the changes you can expect to see in the coming months:

Please keep in mind that while we’ll do our best to listen to all feedback into account, we must make decisions that we think will best serve the community as a whole. We can’t make every suggestion a reality.

As we get further along with each of these projects, we’ll create a dedicate topic for feedback on each of them, and share them here.
