The clearest way to improve discussions here, which has been called for numerous times, is reorganizing the subreddits and adding a few new ones. So far we haven't even got a separate subreddit for meetups, which should be uncontroversial, although I hear it is under development. Despite the simplicity of this proposed change, apparently the codebase makes it difficult. How much would it cost to expedite the development, if that's a possibility, and could we let people donate money directly toward this feature? If it's too expensive, how about cheap alternative approaches, such as adding a menu with links to a handful of "top-level" tags, at least one of which every new post should be tagged with? .
This is darkly hilarious to me; adding a new posting board should be trivial, with no coding required at all. If I may go old-fart for a moment, it's yet another way that modern tech has still failed to match old tech that's fallen out of use over trivial inconveniences.
LW is a fork of the Reddit codebase, where making new boards is indeed trivial. I haven't looked into it myself, but unless the original developers shot themselves in the foot rather badly with their design, it shouldn't be tricky here either.
I suspect the real problem isn't technical difficulty but inability to book any developer time at all.
Yes we do.
um, no.
That's old, from before discussion existed, whose existence shows that the problem has been solved.
I now see that you're right about meetups. It has happened, but only 24 days ago.
