Hi! Thanks for getting this going, I looked for it a few weeks ago but no one had made a similar community yet (eg. nothing like r/PersonalFinanceCanada nor r/CanadianInvestor). So for my ETF question I created [email protected] to have at least a placeholder for people wondering where to post such content here but did approximately zero to promote it or populate it with content which worked out like you'd expect. I didn't even pick a funny image for the sidebar.
So I wonder if I should just close that rather than fragment what might be a fairly limited community? Or is it worth having separate subs as they are different yet related topics---at least on Reddit I preferred to subscribe to the investing one as that was my primary interest and PFC is quite a high traffic sub with a lot of questions not relevant to my lifestyle (eg. I have no car, real estate, insurance, children and no specific plans to acquire them).
Welcome :) Personally, I don't see any problem in having a community about personal finance in general and one about investments in particular, so I don't see any reason in keeping only one of the two, and things may evolve differently depending on the growth of the community. I've subscribed to [email protected] to stay up to date !
