🥹 Yes.

🕯️ I'm going to make bee wax candles in the capital of my current living country on Sun, 12.11. (12th of Nov.) with a normie group because of a SimpleX group initiated by me.

💥 I invited 16 SimpleX normie users of mine. (Ok, one of them is a Threema employee, but she's not the puller of my invites but one of the far edges of my invite mix).

ℹ️ I think using the welcome message properly is key. State that there is no history visible and encourage to take some time until connections are made and messages are flowing in.

🤫 On the other hand calm down new connected users in the group by not starting to early to interact and give invited users to connect first until the party starts.

❗ But all of this is kind of overmicromanaging, except using the welcome message properly.

❓ Do you and/ or does anybody want to join us?
