When the latest version of Discourse (the technology that this forum was built with) was released last month, the creators added a bot called @discobot
which walks users through tutorials explaining how the site works.
Iāve now completed the tutorials (it genuinely did teach me a few things) & they give a really good overview of how the site works, explaining things like quoting, creating polls, writing emoji etc. so Iād really recommend it to anyone who hasnāt used a Discourse site before.
Thereās two tutorials, one for new users & one for advanced users. To try them, create a message (click your profile picture >
> New Message) & add Discobot as the user youāre messaging. Put whatever you want to in the subject & make the message either:
@discobot start new user
or @discobot start advanced user
.
When you complete the tutorials you get a Certified badge (new user tutorial) & Licensed badge (advanced user tutorial) & a certificate that looks like this :yey:
You wonāt be able to complete this question, as the featureās been disabled in this comminity -
so just reply with skip
& if you search for ācapyābaraā & no results are found, scroll to the very top of your messages to load the original posts, then try againā¦
Edit - it looks like the welcome message has now been overriden by the team which means that this bit of text is missing from the 1st message that you receive in the beginner tutorial -
but if you bookmark the first message, you will still be able to continue the tutorial.
If you run into any other issues, just leave comment here
