The Product Hunt forums have been up and running for about a month, so I think if we use this platform and this particular section daily, we could get a little used to it.
Here are some observations from me, but also your side:
👉 Mine:
I currently don't know how to insert a post or video into the forum. In the older format (discussion), I was able to insert it via "img src" tag.
Some comments under forums are not showing up for me (I didn't get notifications for them and dunno why) – I just found them after a few days because I checked them manually.
I have to say that it's much better with AI replies – the number of bots is at least reduced under my posts.
👉 Your observations:
You lack the ability to search your discussions by entering keywords via the "Search bar."
Some claimed that their discussions were not confirmed and they don't know why, because according to them they didn't violate the guidelines.
Self-promotion and Introduce yourself forums supposedly don't have as much engagement as General.
🤔 Do you have any other observations and suggestions for improvements?

It’d be great to have a pinned FAQ or ‘Getting Started’ guide for newcomers. That way, we could quickly learn how to embed media, stay within guidelines, and make the most of the forum’s features

@pranay12 Good point. I think that I also mentioned it once. :)
I'm all for inserting pictures and even videos into the discussion, it would make the text here so much more interesting!

Do you know how to add them? 👀
