Meta Question

delancde's avatar

Just testing out Fluther to see how it works. What do you all like best and what would you improve?

Asked by delancde (38points) December 22nd, 2010

I work for an online education company and we’re interested in developing a Q&A community feature, similar to what is set up here. I’m new to fluther and wondering what everyone likes/doesn’t like.

All your answers can be found by reading a lot of the questions and answers posted. Personally, I just like the site and the people that are on it. Feel free to look around and learn what the community is about:-)
Welcome to Fluther!

I think Fluther is perfect just as it is.

Hang around a bit and I think you will agree. :D

The sense of community is very strong on this site. Generally speaking, everyone is mature and respectful, despite the wide spectrum of political/social/religious views. Many of us consider it our ‘home’ on the internet.

We are kind of like a family. We don’t take no crap, but conversely we defend each other and our right to be wise, silly or stupid with lots of ribbing, if necessary. Browse around, take a look, and be warned, @Dog ‘s teeth are shiny and sharp, when necessary.

Look over some of the past questions in Meta and you will see what people like and dislike.

I love the comments under the user names.

I love the moderation.

I love the community.

JilltheTooth's avatar

And the avatars are sooooo cute!

Okay, I have an improvement they could make:
When you do a search on a subject, it shows a lot of questions that have that subject. It would be cool if they could show which of those questions to which you posted answers. Sometimes I am looking for something I had seen before, and I get lost in all the questions that have that subject mentioned.

I hate it – but I wouldn’t change a thing.

I also wouldn’t join any club that would have me as a member anyway – and they have – so I am not really here. I will join your new community, though, if you won’t accept me.

Oh, and the water theme. It’s lovely.

Stop confusing me, Zennie. I’m impaired.

@JilltheTooth: hmmm. I’m leaving that one alone! ;-P

I think there is a good balance of truly helpful answers, very interesting people and wittiness, too.

Just take time to browse through some of the questions and answers, I think you will find it refreshing.

Welcome to Fluther!

I like the people.

I like that there are no advertisements once you are a member.

I like that the mods keep mean people away.

I like that I can be helpful to people.

I like learning new things, and I have learned a lot here.

I wish I could save my favorite question, both mine and others, in my profile, so I could access them easily.

Someone above suggested checking other META questions. I recommend the same thing.

I’m not exactly sure what you want to have developed by the end of the project, but why not just try Federated Fluther? I don’t know much in great detail in how it works, either, but it’s basically like having your own Fluther.com in your website; questions asked at your site are put into the Federated category (and either General or Social) of Fluther, where this community, as well as the website-in-question’s community, can discuss, and questions asked on Fluther can even be pulled to your website. Check it out and see if it’s what you really want.

Here is a website with the integrated FF system.

I like that I can do that here. No one else lets me run around naked.

Fred931's avatar

@WillWorkForChocolate Way to show off to the new person.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

@Fred931 Hey, they’ve got to be initiated somehow…

seazen's avatar

@JilltheTooth I’m leaving that one alone too. Needs further clarification and explanation.

JLeslie's avatar

Zen might be tipsy too.

JLeslie's avatar

Although, it is very early in the morning where @seazen is. Never mind, I know what he is doing.

Fred931's avatar

Someone PM me the inside joke. I think @JilltheTooth is drunk or something. :P

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

@Fred931 I think she’s been in the wine tonight…

JLeslie's avatar

Yeah, she admitted it on a different Q. Haha. Now it is coming back to haunt her.

FutureMemory's avatar

What are you guys talking about? She’s always like this.

cak's avatar

@FutureMemory: zing! Is our favorite tooth sleeping it off?

@JilltheTooth: You know we kid because we lurve. :)

seazen's avatar

@JLeslie I resemble that remark.

JilltheTooth's avatar

Tipsy! I was just tipsy! A little Christmas cheer, that’s all. Just enough that after a phone call I forgot I was on Fluther and went to bed. Guess I’ll be living with that awhile, huh… ;-)

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

Hehe, I just realized that it never registered that I hit 5k… so maybe fluther doesn’t always work…

cak's avatar

@WillWorkForChocolate I’m doing the 5K whoopie dance for you!

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

@cak Wait… you get whoopie when you hit 5k? Why was this not mentioned before…

Fred931's avatar

Yeah, I want whoopie.

cak's avatar

@Fred931 & @WillWorkForChocolate It’s in the super secret by-laws.

Fred931's avatar

@cak Too bad I can’t find those. How do I claim my whoopie?
