| May 21, 2021 at 16:15 | comment | added | gnat | wrt introducing other SE sites, consider editing in the reference to prior attampt on this. It didn't went too well; in fact it turned out rather painful for everyone involved and it would be desirable to somehow avoid such issues next time | |
| May 18, 2021 at 21:11 | comment | added | Resistance Is Futile | @Catija Yes, editing is a good way to start. It also needs some education, many edits are being done on unsalvageable questions, so from that perspective users that want to start with editing should also learn how to recognize off topic content. But editing like many other actions has poor discoverability... I started earning my reputation rather fast by answering questions in the area of my expertise, and I earned editing privileges before I even realized I could also earn reputation by editing :) and this was not the only rule I missed... | |
| May 18, 2021 at 20:27 | comment | added | Catija StaffMod | Anecdotally, my husband often uses SO but he only has about 5 rep from suggested edits... because he sees posts that are nearly right but need a slight nudge... but he's often wary of helping out with an edit because it can be a bit difficult to get it right... but what if we did more to help new editors understand how to edit effectively and completely so that their edits were more likely to be accepted? I personally consider someone open to helping improve the content we have as a boon - and that type of person someone we want to have here. :D | |
| May 18, 2021 at 20:22 | comment | added | Catija StaffMod | The reputation is true, yes! But tons of people come to the site and just read the content, they don't post questions or answers at all... and some of them maybe see something that needs editing but they're not sure how that works or why they would edit it... and understanding the needs of the community and wanting to help it be better don't require rep at all. Someone who wants to be part of the community can suggest edits and earn rep to join chat or participate on meta - which is why community participation can be a really powerful way of getting people engaged. :D | |
| May 18, 2021 at 19:49 | comment | added | Resistance Is Futile | @Catija Yes, but they cannot do any of that before they earn some small reputation. So first steps, first. | |

| May 18, 2021 at 18:54 | comment | added | Catija StaffMod | Worth mentioning that "the community" isn't just asking questions and answers - it's using chat, meta, etc to really learn about the community not just the platform. | |
