I'd like to call (and thank!) the mods of these subs and get their direct input, in addition to what the users of Poat think.

  • &

When I first started posting here, I posted everything in , because I thought, well, news yeah? But as I watched the new queue and learned about the feature, I began to try and spread out my submissions more evenly.

So, what's the etiquette? What advice is there regarding these subs?

I'm not suggesting restrictions like, ONLY US NEWS IN ! because in my opinion, that's a shitty reddit thing. For instance, they "disallow" US news in their world news, however, if one of their top mods submits it, they allow it. Their news subs is a heavily censored shithole.

What I'm asking is is there a general attitude on the best way to post so that ALL the subs can grow equally and not just rehash the same stuff? Kind of make each sub unique, but of course, still be flexible on crossover?

EDIT: Just to clarify, I do NOT mod in any of those subs, I'm asking so I can become a better USER.

I guess you could do it based upon impressions of how many people are posting in a particular news sub. When my Posting Habits Listed and , I used to decide where to post based on the current. s/Politics is bigger so I usually posted in s/USPolitics. (I stopped because those subs being listed helped me remember them and because other subs have caught my attention). My advice would be to figure out which two of the three get less attention and alternate between those two. Most people are probably posting to s/News so s/USNews and s/WorldNews will probably need your attention more. That isn't quite a guidline, but among people interested in those subs it could be considered something like that.
