Meta Should we merge with Power Users?

  • This is an interesting discussion. I am late but want to give my take.
  • I have definitely struggled with deciding where to post. I think that struggle is part of any organized community though. [f~~ made a great point](https://linux.codidact.com/comments/thread/9524#comment-24020) about posting where you see fit and simply being corrected. This is the right thinking. There is no real penalty to being wrong and I think this highlights Codidact's friendliness, which refreshingly separates it from other hostile parts of the web.
  • [Monica makes a great point](https://linux.codidact.com/comments/thread/5262#comment-15224) for why the divide between communities is important in the first place. I agree with this and think that argument extended to Linux Systems vs Power Users at some point, which is why they exist separately. In reading the posts on this thread in both communities, I feel the problem is not whether to merge the two communities, but rather, how to better distinguish them.
  • It may be nice to have a "Not sure where to post?" article linked at the top of each community. Maybe that article should be linked on the dashboard instead? Maybe a "See more" button on each description in each community would be better (this gets my vote)? ("See more" can expand to example posts, top posts, staff-picked on-topic posts, top tags, etc. Anything that helps a user with a question in mind find a place to write it down.)
  • [The communities landing page](https://codidact.com/) does a nice job of attaching each description to its community. I think shortened descriptions should be attached in [the dashboard](https://linux.codidact.com/dashboard) as well.
