Little question I was asking myself: what would you think about having an SOTD thread and a questions thread per week instead of doing it daily?
At least while we are in the single digit submissions per day?
Good question. Daily SOTD threads would help worbx (assuming he still collects data, and assuming the threads help him). Weekly questions thread is a good idea. I can easily remove the show and tell threads.
A weekly questions thread would also be more appropriate for pinning, which is a manual process for now.
I have always wanted Reddit WS to change to a longer duration for the smaller question auto-threads. So I'm all for a weekly question thread.
And yep, keep the SOTDs daily. fine with me.
I use an app to take the shave data that I' ve typed in and render it for either Youtube or reddit. I recently added lemmy and mastodon sections as well, so I don't mind continuing to post in all of them.
However, if I only have a discussion in one, and then later want to find it, it's a bit of a hassle to figure out where the discussion was.
