Some ideas from me:
"Levelling bot" to track chat, stream, voice minutes for each user , with XP/levels.
We want to encourage activity, and in particular things we can do on Discord that cant or arent done elsewhere, like streaming games, porting and AMA sessions, etc.
Our welcome/first channel is the #lobby and was intented as a break the ice kind of place.
Are we thinking of something more specific for newbies? Do we mean discord newbies, freebsd newbies or both? If so, should this newbie specific channel be the default channel? If so, why, if not, why not? How will this channel work with #lobby if its not the default? How will people know about it?
Set up a few regular events/sessions
Put a call out for people to commit to and run regular sessions, like porting, live streaming games, AMA's, etc. Regular sessions of anything give us an opportunity to a) promote them regularly b) put them in https://meet.bsd.to so people can prepare and calendar for them
