That's your first post already!
Some newcomers seem to be scared off by the many "archiving" posts already here.
But don't ... feel free to create your own topic to be discussed at any time.

Re: Welcome to duome forums / additional resources
I am grateful that you have created this forum, and that so much work is being done to save valuable posts from the forums. The more I use this site, the more I like it.
For those that care to look at them, I posted a reply here&here with pointers to additional resources. Specifically (with subsequent additions),
Duome forum (this one)
Silkthreads Library ("An unofficial project to archive duolingo forum posts")
r/duolingo on reddit
Unofficial Duolingo Stories, referenced here
Various Duolingo Facebook groups (e.g. the Duolingo French & English exchange Facebook group and Duolingo (All Languages))
Additional Facebook (and some other Social Media) sites
StackExchange has some language-specific sites (e.g. for Spanish, French, Japanese, German, Korean, Italian, and Chinese)
Additional Resources - in other languages (dakanga's post on duome, this site)
Additionally, there are some channels Duolingo might use(?) to communicate and propagate information.
The DuoNews feed for announcements [though this was mentioned in the announcement, I'm not sure what this is; maybe they're referring to the News Feed icon in the app for English speakers?] and blog posts
Direct email support for Plus users [if they email Plus users directly—I don't have evidence that they do]
Social Media channels (twitter, facebook, instagram, and tiktok)
The Teacher community group on facebook
And you might be able to find some of the old forum posts on one of the archive sites (e.g. archive.today web capture or the Wayback Machine)
Other resources:

Re: Welcome to duome forums
Hi everyone and thanks to the admin for creating this forum. I'm not sure how much I'll use it because my use of the Duolingo forums dropped off as my fluency progressed and I began to find the site less and less useful. I will certainly drop in from time to time though.

Re: Welcome to duome forums
[mention]ljredux[/mention], perhaps this forum is better suited for you, coz you can chat and practice in any language. Or just read / post about language related things. Or travel and culture.
Enjoy the forum!

Re: Welcome to duome forums
So grateful to duome for this beautiful new space to be with others who are interested in language learning! I’m new and very slow at all the thingies and whatsits, but really glad to be here with all of you.
Somehow I couldn’t get myself to begin here until the DL forums vanished. When I was able to log in today, my sadness noticeably lessened. Thank you duome.

Re: Welcome to duome forums
[mention]Sue588388[/mention], welcome to our new home!
You will soon find out how to handle things here, and if not, there is always someone who will help you!
This place is about language learning and practice, we all want to enjoy our time here and if you just want to chit-chat, it's fine.
Take a look around, make yourself comfortable and have fun!

Re: Graphic - Registered users on Duome
During the week before the closing, i.e. when DL had the red system message displayed, we had doubled the no. of new registrations per day, from 25 on average since the start of duome, to about 50/day during that week. After the closing, the new registrations here have dropped to 10/day...

Not sure if this was true for anyone else, but I spent about 2 days trying to get onto duome forums after the DL forums closed. Something may have been going on with my iPhone set up and/or the registration emails. I never did get an email.
Possibly a very kind administrator helped (I attempted 2 messages through the contact an administrator here), and/or it just took a bit of time for me to be able to log in. Then again maybe a lot of people decided earlier than me, or just didn’t log into the DL forums during the pink post-it time period.

Re: Welcome to duome forums
Since the forum can be viewed from the outside in unregistered state, it would be good if somewhere on the page there is a fixed text that if the registration email is not received, you should just log in like that. Often the account has already been activated.

Re: Welcome to duome forums
I added a "global" announcement visible to all guests, just in case someone visits but they still don't know:
Dear anyone, if you tried to register but you didn't get your activation email: please, try to log in anyway - we activated all accounts so you can just log in and be welcome

@duome ... can this made a front-page top-of-anything else SYSTEM ANNOUNCEMENT (banner) on the (all) duome.eu page(s).
As well as on the very top of forums.duome.eu ... saying that users should just try, despite the missing activation email...

Re: Welcome to duome forums
It's being displayed on every forum page for guests (but not registered members since they already went through and they probably don't need to see this announcement any longer).
I will make it available on duome progress pages as well (that's a good point).
Re: Welcome to duome forums
Possible edit might be “To anyone who wants to participate in(?) (or) join(?) our new(?) (or) duome(?) forums” ?
Possibly include the 2 steps:
1-link to registration page
2-then the info re “if you don’t receive your registration email…” possibly mentioning a time frame - within 2(?) days?

I edited it to "join duome forums" (with the link)..
You can see the entire text in incognito mode if you're using Chrome, or a similar mode in other browsers, they just call it differently.

Maybe you could make the forum more visible on the main site of duome? Maybe add some kind of banner "Check out our new and totally awesome forums!".

Use the "mention" feature to "ping"/"notify"/"paging" the admin [mention]duome[/mention]
Or make posts like this, suggestions, under "Duome Requests"
More visible, indeed, especially because, so I understood, on a smartphone the right part of the top row is not visible (where the FORUM link is)
