 nat-418 | In reply to @infinisil:matrix.orgif you think there is a good wiki page to link to I will add that in my PR. I think allowing folks easy access to add more links also helps accomplish what @garbas seemingly wanted in terms of allowing folks to find wherever whoever is talking about nix easily | 16:42:29 |
| nat-418 | I was gonna add a "PR to add more unofficial channels" but the wiki is probably lower barrier to entry and would get more use | 16:43:12 |

 mica | In reply to @nat418:matrix.orgReddit's business model is not relevant to this issue. | 16:51:47 |
| mica | As someone who has revived better help from unofficial places than official places, I understand linking reddit and discord. I don't know if I think either of those platforms are good for me, but getting help is getting help. | 16:55:00 |
| nat-418 | In reply to @paperdigits:matrix.orgI don't know in what world people are aware Nix exists but not Reddit or X. I just don't see why we need to promote these social media platforms that are already huge and well-known. | 17:16:55 |
| nat-418 | Like why not link to a Google search with the word "nixos" in it? | 17:17:15 |
| mica | I think that has already been answered in the above discourse. | 17:20:05 |
| nat-418 | Can you link me where? I don't see it. | 17:20:32 |
| mica | Redacted or Malformed Event | 17:23:03 |
| mica | Aw dang, thats the text not a link | 17:23:23 |

 djacu | This is not a representation of what we are trying to do. We do not:
What we strive to do is:
There are 25k users on reddit and 2.2k on discord. People find their happy nix home there. The website exists to aggregate resources about nix that users might find useful. That's why we link. | 17:29:49 |
 hexa | are these numbers even comparable? not sure why they're getting thrown around over and over again | 17:33:32 |
| djacu | In reply to @hexa:lossy.networkComparable to what exactly? | 17:36:23 |
 raitobezarius | It's not because you click a button to join a subreddit there's 25k people actively posting over there. | 17:36:48 |
| raitobezarius | Same for 2.2k users on Discord, to be fair. | 17:36:54 |
| mica | Same for all spaces. There aren't 1600 people in the matrix room that are active. | 17:38:29 |
| mica | This doesn't seem to be going anywhere good. Maybe we should take a break and enjoy what is left of Sunday. | 17:39:54 |
 tomberek | A decision has been made and is being implemented. Continuing this discussion here is not productive. The marketing team is aware of the topic. If there are further concerns, please move this to Meta/Moderation (or Meta/Marketing) on Discourse as the appropriate venue where we can apply slow mode and have more thoughtful statements. | 17:42:44 |
| hexa | In reply to @djacu:matrix.orgbetween each other … something like MAU would be comparable, total user count not so much | 20:04:06 |
| mica | TBH the best thing the project could do is have a very obvious pipeline into the ecosystem. I don't think the current spaces satisfy the help needed by new people. | 20:25:10 |

| nat-418 | In reply to @tomberek:matrix.org So to be honest I don't really understand if this means I am not allowed to post in here or not about this topic, so I will just point people to my open PR and say if they like @infinisil:matrix.org's suggestion to use the wiki to add more unofficial links I implemented that solution here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-homepage/pull/1441 if that isn't want whoever has the "decision has been made" power wants, just tell me and I can rewrite the page differently | 10:51:30 |

 avocadoom | I saw the notification, though I did not have time for a review yet. Please remember we are doing this in our spare time and are unfortunately a quite small team | 11:12:53 |
