Questions about group structure, and suggestions
Came here from /r , where anyone as far as I know can create their own group (sub). I am curious about how this will be done with tildes.
Follow-up: an idea occurs to me that many groups (~lifestyle or ~comp for example) may need to encompass several sub-groups (mobile, linux, gaming, etc). It would be really cool if you went to ~comp, saw summary of all subgroups, then say, got more specific and went to ~comp~linux, then to ~comp~linux~distros... i.e. nested sub-groups. I think if we did this, we could essentially eliminate creation of new "groups" and instead, just create new sub-groups of existing groups. That would maintain the basic structure of the site while allowing expansion.
Thoughts?
Hey, welcome! Scroll down to the bottom and click Docs, and then select Mechanics. It explains how groups and subgroups will work. You can also check out ~tildes.official and see the discussions relating to this.
Thanks, I'll look through that when I can. I literally just got here, but I am old hat at wanting my privacy protected and hating ads, I knew this was the place for me as soon as I heard the details. Looking forward to contributing what little I can to this community.
Just a heads up, you replied as a top-level comment as opposed to replying directly to the comment. The bottom comment box is for top-level comments. Click
Replyat the bottom of a comment to reply to the comment itself :)Hmm... I thought I replied through my "new replies", and hitting reply there, but... as I just learned from reading the docs/mechanics, this is already the plan of implementation after the alpha, so my point is moot.
If you're curious about the hierarchy, there is also this thread on /r/tildes as well where I discussed the potentials at length with people there.
