I think it's the reoccurring threads like Pubski, Recent music, Grubski, etc. that help humanise and amalgamate everyone, filling in the blanks that are often left with online communities. Maybe on seeing the tight-knit, 'chummy' community mixed with generally more left-field content creates a risk of new users perceiving this as some sort of positive-feedback loop. Unfortunately this is because the latter is likely more common on the internet that a genuine place of openness and acceptance.
nicely put. I have been noticing some new users putting out feelers feelers in the feeling post. Posts like this and the others you mentioned are fairly non-threatening and fun ways to participate.
