outreach reddit /r/learnprogramming

[Neil Van Dyke]

If you want an interesting place to do outreach for Racket,
`/r/learnprogramming` has almost a million subscribers, and a search
suggests that questions about Racket (and criticisms) tend to go unanswered:

https://old.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/

https://old.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/search?q=racket&restrict_sr=on

https://old.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/search?q=htdp&restrict_sr=on

You can answer things, and point documentation, packages, etc., and also
suggest that all the action is on `racket-users`.

I was reminded of `/r/learnprogramming` when it was mentioned as as a
venue for sneaky influencing, in this:

https://www.nemil.com/musings/hack-an-engineer.html

You can also promote Racket there in non-reactive ways, with posts and
such, but don't take the sneaky bits in the article above as
prescriptive, and repeat the mantra: Don't Be Evil (Really).

Thanks,

I have set up an ifttt applet to email me if someone posts to r/learnprogramming and includes the word racket so I can try answer if I see the question and have the required time and knowledge to respond:

>If New post from search 'subreddit:learnprogramming Racket', then Send yourself an email

I have similar set up for r/racket. 

NB If I don't know the answer I try to direct them to the racket-users or some site with other racketeers: https://github.com/racket/racket/wiki/How-to-get-help
