I think in the guide for communities explained to newbies, a few things should be made clear. I’ll explain what I mean.

Some general purpose communities are not actually general purpose relationships. And I’m not saying that those communities claim to be general their about. But some of the communities are about topics that ideally can be a general topic. Like. Blogging for instance.

As a newbie, I’ve had some encounters where I post into what seems like a general purpose community, but it turns out not. Even though the community was centered around a particular topic, the community seems to be dominated and acted like a monolingual community that interacted in a bit of a discriminating way.

I’ll give an example because this might not understandable with the things I’ve said. I’m being vague, I know but you can understand why. Let’s say I wanted to post In an art community, and the art community was created and is dominated by Ghanaians, the community could turn out to be a Ghanaian community where they only or mostly only support Ghanaians posting about art. This is not the case, I’m just setting an example. I’m Ghanaian myself. So even though art is for everyone and anyone can post into the community, Ghanaians are more likely to get interactions on their posts.

Some of the communities are like this, and I think its important you tell inform newbies this in your posts, but let them (and everyone) understand that you’re not saying these communities are for A group or B group, just educating someone on how you see things(you opinion[everyone is entitled to one right?]).
