Hi everyone! 👋 It’s been wonderful meeting everyone these past two days. People have DM’d me! People have actually replied to my comments in threads! My mind has been blown. 🤯 Anyway, I’ve been seeing so many great recommendations in #introduce-yourself, I thought I’d just collect them here for anyone else also interested. (Idk how this works, btw— is there a way to make posts communally editable, like a wiki? 🤔 If I missed anything here, please add!)

PS. Random question for the admins: I think it was mentioned somewhere on one of the eps, but I do think a dfos feature to automatically collate and present in a single place all links/images/files shared in a channel would be supremely useful? (eg. To compile this list, I’d needed to manually go through every single message in #introduce-yourself shared the past two days and extract manually. 😅)
