Keep posts “going” longer and interacting with and building the wikis more… rather than starting new posts that cover the same ground. Focusing on new insights on the themes/issues/questions . (Ok I’m emphasising the content/wiki here a bit more than the discussions per se)
Some specific suggestions:
-
emphasize and reward the wikis more and contributions to them… have these show up in feeds more.
-
suggest post authors add to specific wiki entries? Specific karma bounties for this?
-
karma for tagging others’ posts well (not sure how to make that work though)
-
autosuggestions for wiki connections and previous posts while you are composing new posts (As in Stackoverflow)
-
if I interact with a post (comment, like, like a comment, vote) … new comments and edits to the post show up in my feed
-
tags for shortforms, shortforms in feeds for tags you care about … enabling wiki content to build up from targeted short forms … perhaps specifically tagged as “wiki” and with that tag?
-
hackathons, sessions, rewarding “we created or improved this wiki entry” at live events and meetings
-
tools to make it easier to add to wiki from second brain and wiki systems (obsidian, roam, notion, etc., maybe even slack )



Similarly with comments. Especially with long comments on mobile it's pretty awkward to go back up and find the vote buttons after finishing reading a comment so I usually vote after reading the first screenful of the comment, before scrolling down, and then go back and change my vote if it was really wrong.
(Could duplicate the buttons, at the top and bottom on long things?)
FWIW I often vote on posts at the top without scrolling because I listened to the post via the Nonlinear podcast library or read it on a platform that wasn't logged in. Not all that important of a consideration, but worth being aware of.
