So something I’m thinking about is posting regular (weekly, fortnightly or monthly) “digests” of what’s happened here in that time period. I’ll provide links to posts or comments etc that seem interesting or notable.

This way, stuff can continue in mega threads or “general discussions” as I’m calling them, and then regular posts can appear in people’s feeds and point them to interesting things.

I like the idea of running general discussion mega threads for general chats, but the main issue they have is that activity in these threads/posts won’t appear in your feed. A regular digest helps with that.

Thoughts?

Am I off base in thinking mega threads are a good idea? They only work if people visit this community intentionally, so for getting started, they may just not work at all.

A compromise might be to have a pinned post that collects links to relevant/interesting posts.
