One of my favorite things about DEV.to is the Welcome Thread!
Itβs such a lovely place to meet new people, welcome newcomers, and make someone feel like they belong here.
But Iβm curiousβ¦
Have you ever commented on the DEV.to Welcome Thread?
If yes, do you remember your very first comment?
Hereβs mine!

Yes. Almost always I commented on the Welcome Thread :)
Yes, as often as I can. Once the intros get large I try to scroll from the bottom up to say hi to later comments.
Nope, never, sometimes when the Welcome Thread pops up in my Discover feed, I like newcomers' comments, but I've never actually left a comment myself. Shame on me ππ

I've done it a few times and I feel bad about it. I need to do it way more than that.
Oh yes, I remember welcoming you to DEV, Divya π And yeah, I comment on most Welcome Threads too π
I actually havenβt commented on the Welcome Thread yet πΉ
I should probably give it a try next time, it looks like a really nice way to meet new people here! πΈ
That is a fantastic idea! πΊ
Nope not really, has been a "blind spot" for me - maybe just maybe I commented there 1 or 2 times, not sure, but nah, not really!
I haven't commented on the DEV Welcome Thread yet. Looks like it's time I paid it a visit! π
No π₯
Okay Ember
I left one today on someone's intro post rather than the Welcome Thread.
Reading this thread, my friend Mustafa can't remember his first welcome comment, while Hemapriya remembers welcoming you specifically. That's the whole argument for doing it. The one welcoming forgets, the one being welcomed keeps the link. You've still got yours from June. π
Haha yes, I remember the little things! I still remember seeing you in @xulingfeng βs comments for the first time. By the way, who was the person you welcomed today? π
I welcomed @star123 to the community today. It was quite a coincidence that I was mentioned in his post just as I came across your post about the welcome thread!
Iβd love to participate in the welcome thread, as itβs an exciting way to meet new people and connect with the community. However, itβs not the only way to do so. You can always engage with others by commenting on posts you find interesting!
