[Meta] Comm Clarification

So I’ve been posting space related stuff here for a while over !space to distribute content more, within the last few weeks though it was closed and now directs posting to this other mander space comm !space which is titled “Space & Astronomy”

So now I’m wondering what the differences are? What kind of content should go to !astronomy over !space and vice versa?

don’t think much about it, just post where ever you want

threelonmusketeers,

I think that !space is the most general community, and communities like “!astronomy” and “!spaceflight” are subsets.

  • Interesting data from a telescope? Astronomy and space, but not spaceflight.
  • A new GPS satellite is launched? Spaceflight and space, but not astronomy.
  • The Perseverance rover drills into a neat rock on Mars? Space, but not really astronomy or spaceflight.
  • A new space telescope is launched? Definitely all three.

These are just my thoughts though, and I’d love to hear what others think.

@Bee, @otter, @Bitswap Thoughts on changing the display name of !space from “Space & Astronomy” to just “Space”? Not that astronomy posts wouldn’t be welcome, but it could help reduce confusion with this community.

Bitswap,

Yeah. Actually confused me for a minute and I had to go dig into all the different communities on mander.

I think it makes sense to change the display name.

otter,

I’m good with that too. A pinned post and sidebar list should help people know where to share content.
