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?
Rule 2 is still in place, the posts have been removed, and the user was cautioned against posting picture only posts.
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.”
Ikr, like I’m gonna remember this infographic I scrolled by onc3
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.
Someone should create a community called „youcouldknow“
It’s not as concise, but I’d say it should be called “would you like to know”
Every post is hidden like a nsfw post and you have to consent to receive the information
I think enforcing Rule 2 would solve all our problems.
It was enforced, I’ve just been busy. We appreciate the reports that include which rule was violated and how!
Thank you for your work!
If it’s a niche it should probably have a dedicated community for it: e.g. c/cooking@lemmy.world
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.
