I’ve noticed that recently this community has had a lot of posts that have general, useful but not extremely important advice, like a lot of cooking stuff and such (I won’t name any names but I think you all know what I mean), as opposed to what this community posted a while ago: very crucial information.

Any thoughts on this?

    If it’s a niche it should probably have a dedicated community for it: e.g. c/[email protected]

    Personally I did like the button sewing post, maybe that is generally useful enough that everyone should know. But I’m already in a few repair/DIY community that never get enough posts, and I’ve just found a ‘Sewing, Repairing and Reducing Waste’ one where it’d fit too.

    Maybe it could be tolerated but should have a tag like [NICHE] in a title and a recommendation that OP should cross-post it as a way to promote/ support the other communities.

    Until all the cooking/kitchen stuff I saw today, I don’t know that I’d ever specifically noticed YSK posts before. Not sure if that’s good or bad, just my feedback.

    I’m not a fan, most of them aren’t things people should know, they’re more just like “eh, this is kinda handy to know if you’re into that sort of thing.”

    I had to sign out to see those posts…

    Which should tell you how effective the block button is when you have an issue with a single poster.

    Waaaaay more effective than making a post about it.
