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?

We could just do a combo free talk friday/daily question thread on friday. Same with the show and tell day. When it gets too busy and cluttered it could always be changed. Daily SOTD posts are nice a week would be a bit tough to sift through. I am using Memmy on IOS and it works very well, similar to Apollo for reddit. All of this stuff is displaying excellent for me. I really do appreciate the work you guys are putting in so thank you very much.

A weekly combo thread is an interesting idea.

What’s the plan with Reddit going forward? Will most users be staying over there?

It seems that way to me, at least for the time being

Interesting. I said I wouldn’t, but I’m now begrudgingly considering a return to Reddit myself. I liked the idea of moving here, but there’s just not the community engagement I was hoping for. Not just in wetshaving, but all the communities I was in.

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.

Hah, thanks, yeah, I’m still around. Just busy enough that I haven’t written up the next reports. The daily SOTD threads help because not everyone puts a date in their SOTD posts. A lot of them are backdated after the fact; people may go a week or so without posting then post a bunch all at once. Daily threads mean that’s organized in such a way that I can count someone as an every day shaver even if they didn’t actually post every day, on that day.

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.

Also, thanks for making the questions thread weekly! Otherwise I might have missed this entirely since I’m not on the community every day anymore. :)
