Oh, we do have a !talesfromtechsupport community (link). Looks like the mod is inactive and the community doesn't have that many subscribers

Maybe we can try making a new one here on programming.dev

Touche, I get your point, indeed there's a lot of tech supporty posts however narrowing the community is only good when it has enough content

How about we wait out on fragmentation for flagship community of the instance until it starts to get at least 5 posts/day (30 posts/week)?

I wouldn’t have thought that content suitable for talesfromtechsupport would be acceptable here. As the description says,

Customer support is not usually related to programming.

I've never really had good ideas to post

Even on reddit

if your coworker shared smt or you see smt online that made you chuckle, it's good enough to repost it on lemmy. Dont' overthink it

Oh I don't mind it, I like the post :)

I was thinking that there might be a lot of Lemmy users working in such roles, without a place (that I know of) to share those stories
