TW5 subreddit crossed 1000 users

[Riz]

In case you don't know, Tiddlywiki has an growing subreddit at https://www.reddit.com/r/TiddlyWiki5/ and it just crossed 1000 users and growing. We diligently tag all announcement posts. From sidebar, you can browse through them via clicking on interested topics like plugin announcements, adaptations etc.

The subreddit also lists featured social media accounts primarily focused on Tiddlywiki. So if you have such an account or know one, do care to mention below and we will add it to the list. There are plans to expand the wiki associated with the subreddit. Other suggestions are welcome too.

You can see the posts that are popular among the community by switching sort to top posts. Reddit has multiple mobile apps, and you can subscribe via RSS feeds customised to your needs (say, only top 25 posts of the month.)

If you are a redditor, do drop in, subscribe and participate. If you are not a redditor, well, you are missing out. 

Sincerely,

Riz

I am a member of it! Could the subreddit TW link be added to the Welcome information fixed at the top here?

[David Gifford]

Was fun reading the thread on Stroll.

[TiddlyTweeter]

I agree. I will ask Eric, the administrator.

[Eric Shulman]

I've added a bullet point in the Welcome information, with a link to the subreddit.  Please confirm that it is working correctly.

For that listing I'd just call it "Reddit".

On social media I done a lot. Mainly on Twitter & (less on) Telegram.

I like them as they are "short forms". Quick messages about news or features of TW.

Both do best with continuous posting (which I have not been able to sustain, alone).

IMO they are both ripe for collective volume posting about TW.

Can Reddit help?

A Reddit is available here: https://www.reddit.com/r/TiddlyWiki5/

Hi,

Thank you Eric. The proper wording is subreddit actually. So it would be either

Join Tiddlywiki subreddit: ...

or

Follow Tiddlywiki in Reddit at

While we are on the subject, I would raise that there is a French tiddlywiki forum which deserves a shout out too.

Also while we are on the subject, why not mention the tagging too? Something like

- Please note that you can use tags to categorize your posts. For a full list of available tags -.....
- Please ensure that you mention your OS, Browser, Tiddlywiki version and other relevant dety when asking a question so that community can help you better

Sincerely,
Riz

Hi Tiddlytweeter,

I think the role Reddit is trying to play is mixed.

I started it to demonstrate that we can have alternatives to Google groups where even the shy people can express their approval of a post by voting for it.

Overtime I have seen that all the efforts towards maintenaining a public list of tiddlywiki plugins have failed to keep up and be up-to-date. As community we need to learn from those mistakes. In Reddit we are trying it another way, by simply tagging an announcement posts, and making it easy for a new non-technical user to filter posts by tags. That way tiddlywiki subreddit is like tiddlywiki in nature 😛.

Sincerely,
Riz
