Hi all, I introduced our community in this post. Personal feedback from the event we had last Friday:
- There was a visible lag when 250+ members joined in at the same time as the link was shared in our zoom call with 350+ members. Some members reported their screen freezing, browser going out of memory, and some even had their laptops crash altogether
- Most people (~200) who survived the initial hiccups stayed for a long while.
- The space stabilized after about 5-7 minutes.
- Those who quit after facing the first few minutes of hiccups either gave bad feedback or stayed in zoom.
- We had 150 people talking even after an hour was over.
- People were using every inch of the space and appreciated go-karts.
- Fellows were asking me if gather would become a regular weekly thing for hackathons, guilds, sessions, etc. They want it to stay.
- Veteran Gather users were amazed at how far we pushed the abilities of Gather in this space.
- In general, everyone whom I met told me on their own that they loved the space.
- Most of them had ideas on collaboratively building the space further for which I plan to create another channel for interested builders.
