A reminder on keeping threads on-topic

[jonah (Jonah Aragon)]

I want to give a gentle reminder to keep threads on-topic.

If you want to start a side discussion that is is prompted by an existing post, but does not serve the original conversation/topic, please use Discourse’s reply as linked topic feature.

This is a great way to politely split off the conversation in the original thread, keeping that thread on-topic, while giving you the freedom to have a conversation about a new idea.

This will create a link between the two topics that people who are interested can follow, while others can ignore if they are not interested.

How to reply as linked topic

1. Write a reply like normal

2. Click the reply icon in the top left^[1]

3. Select the Reply as linked topic menu option^[2]

   

4. Add a new title to your topic and choose the appropriate category

5. Continue the discussion

Thanks everyone!
