Hope you enjoy the instance!
Rules
Follow the wormhole through a path of communities !webdev@programming.dev
getting people who may not know where otherwise to post to then nudge them towards a more specific community for future ones
an example of that would be the python post that was given as an example in the original post where they just asked how to do something in python here and since they were new they just did it in c/programming. Then someone told them about python and the next python help post they did they made in the python community instead
edit: yeah
What about adding a guideline over here along the lines of:
reasoning
That could work but one thing that would have to be figured out with that rule is what is categorized as interesting content as it tends to be pretty subjective so would be difficult to enforce if thats where the line is drawn
For adding relevant programming communities in the sidebar pretty much every community in the instance is relevant but could be the general topic ones like game dev, web dev, etc.
