Subs like r/pythoncoding
Not to sound elitist or anything, but there's a lot of beginner-level questions and posts to sift through on this sub (which is great, since it's easy for beginners to join in on discussion and get answers). I noticed r/pythoncoding appears to be dead. Is there a sub with a similar purpose of sharing useful python blog posts/articles?

Technically, this sub is the one where discussion of the python language, interesting libraries etc. happen. /r/learnpython is the one where people should be asking questions relating to learning the language. But nobody reads the sidebar.
I, personally, am in favour of an automod which detects question-like posts (on a hair trigger) and removes them, with a message recommending /r/learnpython, and an option to automatically reinstate the post. I left /r/learnpython because I had had enough of low-effort "do my homework" posts and people stubbornly refusing to provide enough information to actually get any help, but the questions here are the majority of posts and probably even lower-quality because you know for certain that anyone posting a question here hasn't taken 10 seconds to read the sidebar.

Basically what I'm looking for. Does this exist?

/r/advancedpython has been suggested for this, but hasn't gotten much traction yet.

Interesting. Seems like there's no real demand for it then? If pythoncoding died and this one didn't take off...

Not a single tech subreddit that I visit operates like this.
Language subs have an associated /r/learn{lang_name} or /r/{lang_name}help
/r/programming doesn't allow generic beginner questions
/r/netsec doesn't allow generic beginner questions
etc.
That's because it results in a sub filled with unhelpful, low value, low quality, homework related beginner questions and little discussion.

Definitely true, but I'm also talking about posts like this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/ap8u75/its_not_that_impressive_i_know_but_im_so_proud/ which definitely belongs in a python sub, but isn't necessarily what I'm looking for out of a technical sub.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/ap4hyq/so_true/ definitely not this either.
