I agree that it’s not very tactful, but always assume good faith. I’m sure @liubei meant it as a positive feedback. While it’s not good forum etiquette to jump on a forum for the sake of self-promotion, I believe that’s not your sole intention for joining our community. I’d put it down to a need to improve our welcome system and structure so newcomers like you can have a better on-boarding experience.
Do introduce yourself to the community and feel free to hang out on Discord as well. I noticed that that there are no comments on YouTube or Kindle after four months. Maybe some community engagement would help get our members interested to check it out.
