I have a simpler scheme that probably didn't get read by anyone (hyperbole), because I posted it so late. Justifications, a bit outdated since this is a living site, in original comment: https://www.jstpst.net/f/meta/28/comment/248

  • Arts and entertainment: killallgames, anime4unme, post_music, itookthisphoto, imadethis, just_drawe, Yuri_hut. This could also be named Arts and media.
  • General: general, just_post, ask.

or the former split in two:

  • Crafts and creative pursuits: itookthisphoto, imadethis, just_drawe and (maybe) just_eate. (I'm not entirely sold on the name.)
  • Arts and entertainment: killallgames, anime4unme, post_music, Yuri_hut.

I think these cover your 01 - Main, Doing Things, Learning Things, Media Arts in a better way than your categories.

Also, media arts aren't all arts, I think that Arts and Entertainment is strictly superior replacement for Media arts since not all arts are media arts.

Otherwise, I think that Learning Things and Sharing Things are both premature at this point of time and too vague. And in my book me_irl is memery that ought to go with Sharing Things things, the format is restricted enough not to warrant being in general category.

Politics, tech and support are great categories.

Last thing: I think that arbitrary 01 sorting is bad and shouldn't be done. I'm sure the postmill person could implement sorting by subscribers if we ask nice enough and when there are less than 20 categories, they're all visible enough.

You seem to be rewriting your categories over and over so I'm not sure what your final proposal is. Some of them seem a lot like mine but are too specific, and might end up causing us to overflow with categories if we head down that route. Let me know your thoughts on this.

Also note that these aren't super important, we're not going to make some big change to the website just so we don't have to put "01 -" before a category.

And in my book me_irl is memery

This is not the case.
