Welcome one and all to BestOfLemmy! The goal of this community is "manual curation". Please post good (or best!!) posts you find around Lemmy, highlighting the discussions, communities, and people that make up the Lemmyverse.

There are two rules: Manual Curation and beginner-to-lemmy focus. Please share content on Lemmy that helps introduce Lemmy to newbies!

Don't make automatic bots or algorithms make your pick here. Although its fair game to use bots / algorithms / search engines to look for content, the ultimate decision to post must be made by you. Aside from that, have fun!

Regarding the recent locked post: as the creator it is indeed your vision that you need to maintain. I do hope that you will consider editing the description of this community to clarify such for people in the future:

Manual curation of great Lemmy discussions and threads

Otherwise it made sense that it would fit? Perhaps... "please, no drama" or some such? Well, it's a thought:-).

Second:

if YOU think a post is worth sharing, that’s good enough

But if actual posts are not desired, only comments underneath those, that would help to clarify as well. Otherwise "discussion" can be ambiguous.

I hope this meta-discussion itself is of interest:-).

Perhaps the rule is that I'd like this place to be a good "Frontpage" for Lemmy posts. A "Beginner-to-Lemmy" kind of curation / discussion hub. By the time we're on community-on-community or server-vs-server discussion, we've left the realm of beginner topics / introduction to Lemmy kind of things.

Its not the "drama" I'm necessarily against. Its more like, "my vision for this community means that discussions about the peculiars of servers or community comments is unhelpful here".

I recognize the need to discuss different servers and communities. But "BestOfLemmy" should be beginner-to-lemmy focused. I don't think new posters would necessarily have much benefit from that kind of comment.

Sounds reasonable
