META: Every time I visit Discussion, I see a sequence re-run, and a bunch of meetup notifications. Often new posts slip between the two, and I don’t notice a new topic until I see a recent comment on it. Would it be infeasible to move the meetup notifications out of Discussion to reduce clutter on the page?
I think the best way to do this (and to improve the meetup functionality) is to make the meetup notifications have an option to repeat (without posting new posts). Make one meetup post, set it to repeat weekly, and then it stays on the map and doesn’t clutter discussion.
I’ve found a temporary way to accomplish this- the weekdays of 2018 appear to be the same as the weekdays of 2012, and so one Austin meetup post has been continually on the map and continually out of Discussion. I have to edit it every week to reflect the new date, but since it hasn’t happened yet it stays up to remind me. (I haven’t tested this with having the regular time and then editing a past meetup into a future meetup; I imagine it will work, but be easier to forget.)
