Writing Pinned 'How To' and Welcome Posts in Gather
How do I write pinned 'how to' and welcome posts for my Gather community topics?
Pinned 'how to' and welcome posts are essential for guiding users on how to engage with each topic. These posts should explain the purpose of the topic and how users can contribute effectively. For instance, if a topic is for sharing recipes, specify the format for posting and encourage voting on favorites. This helps users understand what is expected and enhances participation. For more examples, refer to the section on writing pinned posts in theZendesk help docs.
