I haven’t been using FB as frequently anymore, but today, entirely by accident, I noticed that over the past few weeks, I have been receiving notifications for new members in the Julia Programming Language group. At some point in 2022, someone invited me to become a moderator/admin of the group. Back then, I thought I could simply help the community by approving requests and possibly responding to newcomers. However, I’ve only rarely been able to review requests for new posts. Today, I checked to see who else had been administering the group over the past year and, unfortunately, discovered that I was the only one doing so. As a result, today I approved hundreds of requests from new members to join the group and also a dozen new posts (which may now be outdated in terms of what people are asking). These posts include real beginners’ Julia coding questions, announcements of new Julia seminars/webinars, etc. I will inform the group that the community is mostly active on this discourse, but I think it would be beneficial if people here occasionally spent a minute or two checking for new posts, responding to questions, and possibly redirecting them to Julia Discourse. Here is the link to the group’s page.
