I think this is a good idea

Categories are a great idea. We've discussed it for years. I'm not sure if /u/d3rr can encode default categories into preferences, or even wants to.

We could make recommended lists of subs in the /s/SaidIt/wiki, but today I learned I can't edit it as I did 4 days ago. Whether under the /s/SaidIt/wiki or under a new /s/SaidItCommunity/wiki, combined with my short example list above we could curate some top recommended subs (obviously many subs overlap into multiple categories).

  • Fun - seems too vague, though I suppose it could be a general list, or have sub-sub categories. I listed "Entertainment" thinking that "Gaming", "Screen", "Sound", "Sports", and "Other" might be included.
  • Corruption - is good, keeping political "conspiracies" grounded in reality, not to be confused with woo.
  • Gender - countless subs here on this.
  • Political - with obvious overlaps with "Corruption".
  • Regions - names all the countries, places, etc.
  • SaidIt - practical.
  • Science - fundamental.
  • Social Media - practical.
  • Solutions - necessary.
  • Technology - fundamental.

Not sure what "Rabbit Hole" entails and maybe "Deep Research" might be less ambiguous and confusing. /u/LarrySwinger2 recently renamed his forum to https://RabbitHole.wf. Also, I'm not sure what "ALT" is about.

Others to consider (among my multisubs, some better than others): Amusements, Art, Celebs, Comedy, Computers, Control, Crime, DIY, Drugs, Economics, Energy, Games, Grim, Hacking, History, Hobbies, Ideologies, Images, Informative, Internet, Media, Minds, Music, News, NSFW, Podcasts, Politics, Reddit-Banned, Regions, Sports, Unclassified, Users, Vehicles, Video, WellBeing. Obviously not all of these potential categories need to be made, much less made soon.

A couple years ago I had started categorizing all SaidIt's subs into 2 kinds of multisubs, one here: /s/SaidIt/wiki/multisubs. I abandoned that page during my first spat with M7. Aside from gaps in time and occasional lack of interest and the obvious stupid subs, I generally kept up categorizing most of SaidIt's subs in my PUBLIC MULTISUBS: on my user page below my MODERATOR OF:. The problem with all of these is that it includes a lot of subs that are redundant or never amounted to anything for whatever reason.

Your great list (alphabetized below, now added above) has some that are already on the default list or my list:

/s/AMA
/s/AskScience
/s/Biology
/s/CorruptScience - recommended
/s/LifeIsBeautiful - I almost recommended this
/s/paranormal
/s/Physics - default
/s/PoliticalAnalysis - recommended
/s/PoliticalHumor - recommended
/s/Solutions - recommended
/s/WikiLeaks - default
/s/WritingPrompts
