This community is:
A general purpose programming community for English speakers
Language specific posts like:
and ide specific posts like:
are not general purpose. Posts like that ruined /r/programming for me, and this community seems to be going down the same road. I’m here to read about programming concepts that can be applied to any/most languages, not patch notes for 10 different Js frameworks posted by karma farming bots. If I wanted to read posts like that, I’d have subbed to /c/javascript…
Do you agree with me that they should be removed from /c/programming, and limited only to their respective communities? Or have I missed the point of this community?
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.
