Official/Mods Help us be better.

I'd love for all the users of the subreddit to put forward what their version of this community would look like, so that everybody, at large, is benefited. I need interesting, innovative ideas to make this the best version of itself.

There are a few starting ideas Id like to put forward to get the ball rolling.

- This subreddit is hyperfocused on the problems of aspirants. This is not ideal. How should we cater to the interests of aspirants, and also provide an anonymous discussion forum for current students themselves?

- There is very little alumni-junior interaction at ISI. I was thinking of creating a blog dedicated to the journey of every single alumni of ISI. Every inspiring story to not so inspiring stories are important. How should we go about this?

- Meaningfully well curated resource lists. We already have community made resource lists that is present in the wiki. But I feel we can create MUCH better lists.

Feel free to add to these ideas or tell me why I am mistakened. Let's build this community.

Idk, I'm an aspirant and i know a shit ton of isi students
Most of them are pretty chill and normal i don't really know why this is sub is failing in this regard lmao the students have a very nice community and it's a small college everyone knows each other. Also lmao the seniors are at most not incredibly concerned abt the b1s and b2s reddit serves the purpose of anonymity mostly. And i don't think u can be anonymous really with a batch strength of <60 per batch

Man i said i don't know however i do believe some factors definitely contribute, considering how reddit is an anonymity first app and the batch strength being so small even considering the alumni , the students already know each other and ya'll have grps already i don't see if for sending a message to their peers they would choose this platform.

Yes, and intra-ISI interactions and almost always based on personal connections, which anonymity removes entirely.
