Sometimes it feels like the about pages/sidebars across the fediverse are underappreciated to the point of being underused, so I thought it might be nice to see what some most appreciate in those abouts/sidebars that are used.

For me personally? If it’s something kind of niche or obscure, or even something basic but kinda ambiguous, I dig a concise little description like “[blank] is a [genre/type] [band/game/tv show/etc.], [additional relevant info]”.

Although if it catches my interest enough I will just post and ask because how else might I figure out the secret arcana of the Deep Hobbies?

    I prefer an elaborate description, if appropriate presuming people don’t know much about the topic yet. Bonus points for adding wikis (i don’t think it’s possible in Lemmy for now?) and links. And a friendly tone. Those concise oneliners, to me, feel like; if you don’t understand what this community is for, you are not welcome here anyway.
