Community guidelines — the short version

This matches my experience exactly. The hard part is staying consistent once the initial novelty wears off.

I respectfully disagree on one detail. In my setup the opposite held true, though I suspect it comes down to community size.

One caveat for larger communities: keep an eye on the indexes. At a few thousand rows the difference is night and day.

Appreciate the clear steps. The dry-run tip in particular saved me from a mistake I would not have caught otherwise.

Strong agree. Good defaults beat a wall of toggles every single time.

This deserves more votes. It is a small change with an outsized impact on day-to-day use.

Great point. I had not considered the angle you raised in the second paragraph — it reframes the whole thing for me.
