So far we haven’t even got a separate subreddit for meetups, which should be uncontroversial, although I hear it is under development. Despite the simplicity of this proposed change, apparently the codebase makes it difficult.
This is darkly hilarious to me; adding a new posting board should be trivial, with no coding required at all. If I may go old-fart for a moment, it’s yet another way that modern tech has still failed to match old tech that’s fallen out of use over trivial inconveniences.
LW is a fork of the Reddit codebase, where making new boards is indeed trivial. I haven’t looked into it myself, but unless the original developers shot themselves in the foot rather badly with their design, it shouldn’t be tricky here either.
I suspect the real problem isn’t technical difficulty but inability to book any developer time at all.
