> [@kingi](#): > > If the actual goal is to educate people then we must go to where they are - FB, twitter, snap, IG, etc. They won’t come here if they don’t know where we are. I agree with you on this, but a good _social media strategy_ is needed to make this work. You already name 4 major networks and an etcetera, to which I would add LinkedIn (what I use instead of FB). If we have high value discussion and ideas arising in all these media it will be a huge PITA to bring it all together to this forum and/or the tools we use to follow them up (e.g. github, wiki, etc.). The problem is that then we have N networks over which the CHT community is spread, we get people missing out, and duplicate discussions and content. Not impossible to overcome, but requires much community effort to bring it all together again. Would work if all social media channels conducted traffic efficiently to this forum and follow-up tools. > [@kingi](#): > > This forum is home base, everything else are satellite groups. I believe the heart of the movement stays here. Yes! I previously described this forum as a first-stage body of raw information to be followed-up with more appropriate tools, but maybe it should be considered 2nd-stage and the social media channels be the first-stage, targeted to community outsiders, and these channels be conductors of information to this forum, attractors of new community members. > [@danfennessy](#): > > Would there be a way to **publish read only content from this forum to the Facebook group** Yes, this should be part of the solution. Maybe close the thread in that channel, if it was picked up and continued on the forum. > [@anon22019695](#): > > Until further improvements are made, using Facebook (for now) will make it easier for us to invite more people into our community, > [@Mamie](#): > > then, once it is better structured & friendlier to newcomers Yes, @ferj, @anon22019695, @patm and @Mamie , I strongly agree with you that we can only make significant changes to the other channels (or even closing them) can only occur once this forum is improved. > [@kingi](#): > > Can we mak a request to improve the typography in the forum? Line spacing, line widhts, scaling, vertical rhythm. i would suggest focussing on design of the forum if its possible. > > is there a git we can make suggestions to? Like @Mamie said we are working on a plan to improve the Discourse forum, and this includes visual changes. Discourse has a feature that allows custom themes (using CSS files). We’ll provide a means for any member to participate in this, and we are thinking to provide Github issue lists to cooperate efficiently. More info will follow. Until that time you can add suggestions to [Suggestions for improvement to the community forum](http://community.humanetech.com/t/suggestions-for-improvement-to-the-community-forum/145) --- _[View the full topic](https://community.humanetech.com/t/closing-the-cht-facebook-group/2114)._
