I remember volunteering as a Tag MOD back in 2019 to force myself to learn how to code with Django and Python

This is another great example of the benefit of being a tag mod. It also highlights how mods are not only contributing to the community, but they're also investing in themselves by gaining new knowledge and experiences. Thanks for sharing!

I applied 3 times in the past 2 months and have no response yet 😭

Actual #gitlab moderators does not seem to be GitLab enthusiast nor acting on the articles, I would gladly help if you give me the chance, please 🙏

Had a question, I am trusted user in the Community, do I also have access to the Discord Channel? If so, I haven't been added to it.

Heyo! Great question. 🙂

I think we may have made a change in our Trusted Member welcome email copy removing the Discord invite. I believe it's only in the Tag Moderator welcome email copy now.

However, Trusted Members do have the option to join the Discord channel on a near-monthly basis. I send out a Mod Newsletter to all mods (Trusted Members & Tag Mods) each month (typically! 😅) and there's an invitation in that email to join Discord.

In any case, I'll shoot you a link via email shortly so you can join on in now.

Oh, I wasn't even aware about that.😔 Is there someway I could receive the Newsletter too? and if there's a workaround for this issue? ( I don't really know where the issue is, but the emails from DEV Team, don't come in my mailbox. Not even in the spam folder, they just don't arrive. )

In any case, I'll shoot you a link via email shortly so you can join on in now.

Yes! Please do so. Thanks a lot!!

Awesome! I just emailed you.

As for the DEV emails not working, would you please report a bug on this? I can't actually manipulate your email as an admin and we should be picking up whatever email you've set in your settings here. Also, be sure to check that your notifications are set up properly.

This sounds pretty cool and something that I would be interested in. My only questions would be how much of a time commitment would it require?
