Going to write this all down to try to keep track, I went a little overboard after our successful update to Flarum v1.8.0
Hopefully I don't forget anything
- gif avatars are available to all founder and subscriber members
Remember founder is a rank given out by me to all the OGs. Just ask if you don't already have it. In the future if/when the podcast takes off and more people start signing up on the forum, there will also be a cheap paid tier called "subscriber" that will have all the same perks as founder. However we may need to move to a new payment processor to pull this off. See MP#78 for details on what's happening to Odysee (beginning of the episode, first story)
- Discord Widget in the bottom right corner.
Click the button and see for yourself. It's Discord's default widget, just now on this website. Will make it easier for newcomers to find the discord too
- Profile bios and social profile buttons
On your profile there should be a box prompting you to say a few words about yourself, that's your profile bio.
Click the gear icon to the right of your forum join date to add profile links, which is also where you'll find the icons once you save it. See my profile as an example
- Webhooks!
Now in the #cafe-posts channel on discord you can see a readout of new threads and new replies on threads in discord, so you don't miss any!
- Polls
Now you can add a poll to your posts, see the Add Poll button next to the tags in the editor
You can also add images to your poll options, but it's kind of ugly. See a live example here --> https://melonmancy.cafe/d/49-poll-plugin-test-best-grill
I've also installed a few other extensions, like static pages, emoji reactions but i'm not sure if I will use static pages and the emoji reaction extension left much to be desired, namely I couldn't use our custom emojis 
Speaking of, send me icons/small images/gifs you want as custom emojis. I'll add them. Make your own thread or DM me on discord or something.
Happy posting
