I was thinking instead of a /r/lostredditors that makes fun of bad posting choices there could be a community that could allow more experienced users to offer advice on the best community to post in. Maybe something slightly silly like...idk, /c/fedditorsearchparty?

I've had need of something like this more than once. For instance, I saw a cool little statue in an HDR walker video on YouTube recently. It was cute and made me happy and I wanted to share it, but I had no idea where to post it. There are so many communities across so many instances now.

Does this sound interesting or helpful? Or maybe something like this already exists!

Thanks in advance for your input. Have a nice weekend!

Ooo excellent suggestion ty ty

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

That one is good! You can also ask in [email protected] if you'd like :)

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Nice one ty ty

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

New avatar no? Looks nice :)

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Thank you :)

I liked the colors, so it felt like time to swap it

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

I would very much benefit from a place where I can ask where to ask!

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Maybe use [email protected]? The community sidebar seems close what you are looking for:

I didnโ€™t know which community to post something in and so here we are.

Please comment if you know a more appropriate community for a post.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Ah yes ty ty! That is more or less what I had in mind. I may post my little statue picture in there. :D

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

No, this is it. AskLemmy is the place to ask until it becomes to large.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

That seems like a good idea to me.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Maybe a community that would lead users to blogs, social pages, or other websites where specific kind of content is promoted for sharing?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm not sure I understand. Could you give me a concrete example?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

A community similar to "There is an AI for that", whereupon, instead of listing free\paid websites to do stuff with AI (like removing background music or voices from a video, keeping only the sounds effects), there is a website\subreddit where the best websites for certain type of content are listed and categorized

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

This feels unnecessary. Users will nearly always correct people who post in the wrong place.

A wiki or a meta-megathread would probably be a better fit for something like this. Like a Yellow Pages for communities.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Posting it here makes sense
