Hello everyone, I’m so happy to see this community grow. I’d like to always make sure there is some thread where community input can be gathered so that we can allow our little corner of Lemmy to flourish.
What would you guys like to see in the subreddit community What are your hopes and expectations for a YNAB community?
Some ideas I’d be personally interested in exploring:
- General personal finance overall (with relation to YNAB)
- Money diary posts (I always loved the money diary community on reddit and wished there was a YNAB version of it)
- Weekly community questions
- Onboarding guide
- Reaching out to the YNAB team to setup an AMA (moonshot idea)
It would also be nice to setup some community ‘goals’ or ‘mission’ just so that we can show our community’s direct intent.
Some Ideas for Community Missions/Goals:
- Advocation for healthy relationship to personal finance
- Increase and promote community knowledge of the YNAB tool
- Camaraderie in helping our fellow budgers roll with the punches
I’m looking forward to hearing everyone’s feedback!
EDIT: Changed subreddit to community
I’m glad I found one of my favorite subs over here. I like what you suggested, as well as maybe monthly threads for people to share their categories? I always enjoyed reading those as a way to improve my own.
Welcome @fuzzylogic! I’m also glad that you found this sub! I started a categories thread but I should pin it and I labeled it as fortnightly but I think monthly is much more appropriate!
“subreddit” you mean “community” ;)
Do you have an example of Money diary posts? That sounds interesting
I wouldn’t mind seeing an onboarding guide and monthly Q/A threads
I didn’t reply to your money diary question.
This is the subreddit I had in mind when I was coming up with the idea: https://www.reddit.com/r/MoneyDiariesACTIVE/ Most posts in that sub are from throwaway accounts for obvious reasons.
Refinery 29 is also known for their money diaries https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/money-diary
Whoops. Thanks for pointing that out. I clearly have some adjustments to make.
I’ll try to put together an onboarding guide this week. I hope a wiki system gets integrated into lemmy eventually.
Happy to find this! I also liked the regular referral link threads. I managed to get a couple free months out of that?
Great idea! How often would you recommend?
I thought monthly was a good span. Doesn’t seem like something you’d want to pin to the top… or maybe it should be pinned? I don’t know.
Glad I thought about subbing to this one, and glad to see it actually exists! I’m new to YNAB, been using it for a couple of days and liking it a lot. I’m thinking that general personal finance management overall and technical issues would be the posts I would create the most. But of course I’d be glad to see some other content.
On the Money Diary posts I’m not familiar with the concept, went to see the sub over reddit but didn’t quite grasp the purpose? Anyone could ELI5 the concept of “Money Diary”?
In short they’re basically an insight to someone’s life financial, their income, their expenses, what they choose to stretch on or save for. They help reflect on your own finances and give some perspective. Refinery 29 always had some good one but they show up in more publications now as they become more popular.
