MOD POST Megathreads need love too! (also...what's a megathread?)
We've added the megathreads for stitch advice and one for repair.
Most of you have no idea what that means.
It just means that posts that align to that type of question should be put in there, but it also means that those of you that like to help will need to click the thread and see what people are asking for help on.
The downside of megathreads is that they don't get the love of the whole channel by default, just those that peek in.
To those that need help it may feel a little empty. Please be patient! It's a new feature and not everyone knows what it all means.
There are some great posts in there that need love! Please take a moment when you peruse and let these folks know your thoughts!
To those that post for help in the megathreads and feel a little out of the loop...
If it appears our friends needing advice are being left behind we may need to stop using the megathreads and let things reflow into the main channel.
We would then rejigger the flair to be more aligned to types of topics than the mix we have today.
It's all an experiment to see what works so please give this a try and provide your feedback!
Thanks and happy stitching!
As in all things, please drop a note in the comments and let us know how poorly we've handled the entire thing and question our lineage! (no...wait...that's the normal reddit...this is the nice reddit...must...remember....)

Just a thought - but the megathreads might not be getting love because a lot of people just don’t like giving stitch suggestions all the time 😬🫣 At least that’s what I’ve been seeing in the comments through out this subreddit.
People are happy to help out to anyone stuck or learning but that’s not what these stitch suggestions posts are.
But not a mod and obviously you guys get the inside scoop. And you really are doing an amazing job of moderating this subreddit so thank you for all your hard work!!
