Hey there!
I am rather active on discussion.fedoraproject.org and would tell you about our moderation and structuring style there.
We use categories like here, and tags extensively.
Example: If someone has an NVIDIA issue on the KDE-Plasma desktop, which seems specific to kwin, and there are issues with discord, we tag
f41
kde-plasma
kwin
nvidia-proprietary
(or the oldnvidia
)discord
3rd-party-software
We have a ton of new users there, many come there instead of opening a bug. So we direct them to the best place, add the link, solve the thread and tag bug-reported
.
The results are extremely well searchable posts, which increase the UX of new users dramatically. Example
We have a #howto
with somewhat of a system, like your Guides. There is a system to not tag it directly, wait until people loosely verify it, and then tag it a week later.
NixOS has a steep learning curve, but is a waaay better concept than Atomic Desktops, for a lot of people. Appliances like the Steamdeck are the hype, everyone is building unbreakable systems, but they always suffer from lack of customizability.
I have installed NixOS a week ago, and I am kind of a nerd. It is extremely hard to get setup, and there are no presets! No uBlue Aurora, no “look how great this system works”.
So improving the discoverability of user-provided solutions to common problems is KEY!
I find it hard to get solutions for common things, and I plan to contribute here, but the infrastructure is needed first. Please add tags and allow TL2 users to create new tags
Oh and please add more reactions! Like Fedora, only positive ones, no sarcastic or negative ones. Make the forum more fun!
