A small thing I learned about community guidelines

Nothing groundbreaking, but it saved me real time so I figured I would share. The trick was to slow down and get the basics right before optimizing.

Hope it helps someone else.

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

This is the answer I wish I had found six months ago. Would have saved me a weekend of trial and error.

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

Tried this on a staging copy first and it behaved exactly as described. Confident enough to roll it to production now.

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