Do we need a JavaScriptHelp subreddit?

209 points · submitted Aug 2017 by u/gunther-centralperk · locked

Seems like almost every post in this subreddit is about very basic help questions regarding someone's blog site or bootcamp homework project.

I can't be the only subscriber here who doesn't want to see this. I'm here for JavaScript news, cool libraries, new developments, etc. This subreddit isn't StackOverflow. Am I wrong? If so, please point me to the right subreddit.

There's already /r/learnjavascript which seems like it might fit the bill?

So if these resources exist, why don't the /r/JavaScript mods require all help topics to be posted there?

I'd be game to go the /r/goodyearwelt or /r/elm route with a Simple Questions or Beginners Only thread posted weekly.
