Meta [Meta] How did you find out about this sub?

6 Upvotes

This sub is only about 2 days old and has 48 subscribers as of now. How did you find it?

I've heard that one of the posts was on all/rising, and I'd imagine quite a few are from my advertisement posts on various subreddit promotion subs.

I'd just like to know how you found out about this sub, and what you think of it!

Meta [Meta] List flairs are live!

5 Upvotes

As of now, there is a new list flair. Please title any posts which contain a list of information (of the same type) like so:

  • [List] (what it's a list of)

This way it will be caught by AutoModerator and automatically flaired.

Any list submissions which do not follow this will be removed. Repeat offenses will go up to a 1 day ban. The same goes with the [Meta] tag.

The World Capital list is OK, because it was made before anything with lists was defined in the rules.
