edit: also, if you have any questions in the future you can pm myself or mk or use the #bugski tag.Do lists exist? I couldn't find it in the "markup" popup
not currently.Will subforums be created sometime in the future? I understand this leads to fragmented content, etc, etc, but I'm hoping
There are currently no plans to create subforums, but it's not lost on us how perfect the phrase "sub-hub" is. That said, we are always open for suggestions. Some of my favorite changes to the site have come from user suggestions.Why Arc?(Specifically for site owner). I feel as if other languages with more well defined libraries/development would have been a better choice.
mk will have to answer this one he is the coder here and the founder of the site.Other than that, I like the layout of the site. A tad confusing, but everything has a learning curve.
Thanks and welcome. Any feedback on how being a new user could be less confusing would be most welcome. Cheers.
1. Rework the controls menu. Everything feels squished together and frankly, a tad bit ugly. The default dark theme looks especially bad for it. 2. Add some information for the three things below my name. I've been able to work out the guy walking thingie to be my follows, but the two sun-esque things are still a mystery to me. 3. While I do like the pound character organization, such as #technology, and I also like the fact that it links to all posts with that hashtag when I type it in, some sort of formal organization is needed for me to really want to use this site. Subhubs are a must in my opinion. Every single online forum I've ever used in the past 8 years has had a formal structure to it. 4. I like the follow mechanism, but I feel that it doesn't stack up to the idea of a subhub because even if I subscribe to 100 people, people who have similar interests and post regularly, I will never have the same amount of content from a subhub with 1000s of subscribers, interested in all the same topic. Linux posts? Bam, follow one subhub instead of 15 people, and I don't have to worry about it. I realize that you can "follow" a hashtag, which is a feature I like and am currently utilizing, but I feel as if that could be easily abused. Somebody could just make an outrageous title, like "Apple stock tumbles, company goes bankrupt" and link it to some NSFW/NSFL content. And a true idea here: The hashtag, eg, #Technology could be a "blanket" of sorts for subhubs. So #technology could include places like /h/Technologynews, /h/programming, /h/buildapc, /h/linux, /h/android, etc. When you decided to go to the #technology link, it would show intermixed posts from all of those subhubs. Thanks for reading.

They could post the same thing in a subhub. Either way, it gets reported and removed.

Is this really necessary when you can have multiple tags per post?
