It is hard to say if those who aren't introduced feel at home. I know I did not but I also never started at the newcomers communuty. I spent most days reasing, commenting & asking till I found the kind of right place to be.

If I look at the start of 2024 I think back of many hostile moderators and communities with more demands than a sane people can handle. Within a few months I gave up trying to fit in.

It's good to see many of those moderators left or changed, although there's still a group mainly out on their gain. I wouldn't have liked to be a newcomer at that time, being forced, manipulated and fooled and told all you had to do is writing quality content to receive high rewards. On the other hand I left those communities and never returned and will never do so, no matter who the moderator is.
