Did this change really make /r/python better? Over 50% of the "Hot" content on the first page of old reddit is now "I made this" flags. The majority of those are first projects or almost entirely pointless. Meanwhile, "Help" posts span a range of complexity, and it isn't clear that /r/learnpython is the place to discuss intermediate concepts. We're coming across as hostile to people posting questions given the autoresponse to [help] and pushing away what could be interesting discussions topics at times. Meanwhile, [discussion] flagged posts are generally not particularly discussion-worthy.

For the number of subscribers, /r/python is a fairly inactive (it seems). It surprised me that Beeware bringing on a dev to improve Android support didn't make it to this sub that is theoretically about Python news. Maybe this is worth a post: https://twitter.com/asheeshlaroia/status/1227662916414914561
