Further split up ~tildes?
admittedly I should have asked for an invite sooner and posted this on the group request thread instead of here but here we are.
~tildes is the most active sub by far, so it only makes sense it should be split up further.
Maybe split it up to ~tildes.site (for the look of the site.), ~tildes.syntax (for the markdown used in tildes.) and ~tildes.community (for self-awareness, talking about how we could improve this community, what it needs and where it's headed.)
Any opinions?
This is faulty logic. Activity is not a motivation for splitting - it is an enabler for splitting in that an inactive group shouldn't be split, but just because a group is active doesn't mean it should be split.
Noise and relevance is a motivation for splitting, and IMO the ~tildes group is perfectly coherent and should not be split at all.
OK. Admittedly It was late at night and my thinking wasn't the sharpest.
I seem to have somehow missed a lot of activity? To me, ~tildes doesn't seem to be very active at all. I only count 4 topics in the last week.
@Deimos cleverly proved Tildes currently has neither a large-enough userbase, nor do subgroups necessarily result in more submissions, to support most subgroups at this moment in time—so put me down as a hard pass on this idea.
~hobbies.automotive, and the ~science.* subgroups just didn't gain any traction (although in defence of subtildes, the science branches were so unapproachably academic that it couldn't have helped either).
I think syntax is too specific to warrant its own subgroup, it could probably be covered by ~tildes.site. It's possible that it's talked about more often than I think it is, though.
