Original idea for this community came from @kibiz0r@midwest.social who in comments of this post gave ideas for many new communities.

This community also serves as a “Do the Maths” community or “<Insert specialist> explainer”

Currently the community is very small so the fact finding may be slow, perhaps as it grows it can be fast fact finding ninja

    There should be a bot.

    Actually, do you want me to make a bot? It wouldn’t be hard.

      There used to be one - https://lemmings.world/u/communitylinkfixer

      It looks like it was de-activated 3 months ago.

      If you make a new one, please consider limiting it to just this community (and maybe communitypromo), and to not translating a link if the OP has also already provided a ! one, and to not translating links inside code blocks.

      Drive-by bots can seem easy to make, but the problem is that they can be a bit too easy, and then end up as yet another annoying one.

        If they link directly to {instance}/c/{community} but not to !{community}@{instance} it can chime in with that second thing.

        Most people link to something, but they don’t always link to the thing that works everywhere.

          Well sure, I can’t compensate you but if you wanted to do that I’d let it do it’s thing.
