I've been thinking about this too, how to expose people to new or existing subs. Not exactly what Jason is talking about but I think we have the same basic goal in mind.

Does it need any coding though? This process doesn't have to automated. The mods of subs themselves could contribute to a weekly automod thread generated in s/Saidit or wherever.

I mean people could promote them by word of mouth too. It doesn't require any programming, just time

True, but that'd mean people pimpin their subs in their comments out of context. I don't know people would mind that, but I worry they might. Really not sure.

So... I was a programmer 2 decades ago. I probably can't do fuckall, but is there a place I can see saidit's code? Never did python either but it's based on C and that I know.

Also I noticed if you pick the embed link on a comment, it still has the reddit logo.

Yeah saidit's code is here: https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit
