As someone who just went through the application process (though not via reddit) and didn't realize it had been approved until I saw this message, it might be nice to have a confirmation email go out. Then again, maybe one did and it's just in my spam or something.

Also, hi! I'm Shane. I have a generally ML perspective and I'm very excited to discover this community exists. Looking forward to getting to know everyone and having some informative discussions.

Do you happen to have any resources on changes Xi's made along these lines?
