This thread is a great example of something that should be split but I am holding off because they are still semi-related. That being said, now I think there is 5 different avenues of discussion going 
- I can’t seem to see any consensus on layout changes yet - but we will keep the idea open
- Splitting threads, I know it is disorienting. And I think we all hate it but when threads get off topic realistically there is no other way to do it. I know we can do better with trying to keep context and the mods and I try hard to figure out the bare minimum we need to include. The issue is, especially threads that actively being replied to, it often happens super quickly which makes it really tough.
- User onboarding, I think including more information in the welcome message is the way to approach this and encouraging all new users to actually complete the included onboarding by @discobot would be beneficial.
I think that hit all the points above - if you want to reply to a specific point please quote and use the “reply as linked thread”
