- # Broaden the scope (slightly)
- I noticed https://software.codidact.com/posts/292660 was closed due to being off-topic. That's fine on a site the size of Stack Overflow, where there are too many questions and filtering keeps it focused, but a site with too *few* questions that wants more activity should allow any question that is useful and close enough to the central topic (which this is, IMO), to prioritize growth.
If the contention is that it belongs on another Codidact site, then my recommendation is to merge similar sites until the combined site is big enough to sustain its network effect. Reddit did not gain subreddits until it already had a big enough posting volume to justify splitting them - this avoids the appearance of a ghost town.
