This board is for posting resources and discussion of niche topics. It is intended for infodumping and for sharing cool things you found that might not get much traction in general discussion due to a limited audience. Here are some appropriate and inappropriate topics for this board.
Appropriate:
Not Appropriate:
Appropriate:
- Infodumping about a specific topic - this specifically refers to going into extraordinary detail about something even if it isn't that niche. For example, an especially long and detailed post about insects could go here.
- Discussion of or link to info about something very specific - Have you got a lot to say about a specific species of insect? Do you know a lot about a specific historic embroidery technique? Did you find a website all about the different types of marbles? These things belong on this board.
Not Appropriate:
- Surface level discussion of broad topic - posts about a broad topic that don't go into much detail. For example, a broad overview of insects falls into this category. These posts should go in General Discussion.
- Brief, simple posts with no links - posts that may or may not be about a niche topic, but lack any detail and don't link to more detailed sources. For example, a post that's just a photo of a cool bug. These posts should go in General Discussion.
- Posts that belong somewhere else - if your post's topic fits in perfectly with another board, it should go in that other board. For example, even a very detailed infodump about a very specific episode of your favorite show should go in Media Discussion.
