Lars Fosdal​ I'm reading way too many questions on the /sub thingy. Could you perhaps do some "sticky" thingy like you did with the Seattle tag? Just a thought, it could help some people to feel more welcome here.
I find it annoying (why not contribute something) and figure it is a lazy substitute for adding a post to a collection or creating a personal circle to repost to. But that's just me.
/10char (don't ask me what that means but google for yourself)
Apart from that I find this /sub to become very annoying. Google should provide a way to subscribe to the comment notifications without commenting yourself - can't be that hard! More annoying than people +1 a question without giving an answer. This is not SO, I don't need +1 on a question, I need an effing answer! ;)
Dany Marmur that is true, however I believe it is also true that notifications dissipate after a bit of time so even if you /sub you are no longer notified after awhile.
I do from posts I start Jeroen Wiert Pluimers but I can't say with certainty I get them for posts I comment on. In fact I'm inclined to think some fall by the wayside.
/sub :)
ReplyDeleteThe stickies are very annoying, and people will quickly figure it out, IMO.
ReplyDelete/sub
/readlater
/following
"I probably could have written a whole sentence to follow this thread, but instead I wrote /something"
That said - I amended the current sticky instead - but it will be going away in a few weeks, to reappear at next mysterious version name :P
ReplyDeleteDelphi Malmö!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't /follow be more self explanatory? I dont want to start a dicussion about what should be written but I feel /sub is confusing.
ReplyDeletesub stands for subscribe which is self explanatory
ReplyDelete/notify

Mystery solved!
ReplyDeletePatrick Hughes​ problem is that when you share to your own repository you won't get notified when the thread develops, i.e. things happen.

ReplyDeleteAah, yes. I've had that notion too! Google does what Google wants.
ReplyDeletePatrick Hughes I get notifications on new content from threads that have been inactive for months.
