Updates to site guidelines and AI/LLM tags

Recent updates to site guidelines and AI/LLM tags aim to enhance the quality of content on the Lobsters community. The administrator, Peter Bhat Harkins, has implemented two significant changes.

The first update involves revisions to the about page, which now provides clearer guidelines regarding what the community considers topical and what constitutes self-promotion. The new introduction emphasizes learning, crafting, collaborating, and sharing interesting viewpoints. The administrator's contact information remains available for any support issues.

The second adjustment pertains to the topicality guidelines. Lobsters remains focused on computing, and tags like "art" are not considered relevant. Some suggested rules of thumb for valuable submissions include improving the reader's next program, deepening their understanding of their last program, being interesting in five or ten years, and generating compelling and discussion-seeding material.

The guidelines now prohibit submissions to code repositories, as they often lead to low-effort, self-promotional content. Instead, the community is encouraged to share content about code bases, their creation, purpose, challenges, and usefulness in the ecosystem.

The second major adjustment is the inactivity of the "vibecoding" tag. This tag has been marked as inactive and will no longer be applicable to new submissions. The tag was previously intended to capture discussions related to AI/LLM tools, content partially related to AI/LLM, content discussing AI/LLM output, content generated by AI/LLM, low-quality AI/LLM content, and a tag of shame for those who dislike AI/LLM tools.

However, the tag has become overly broad and burdensome, leading to the removal of it from new content. The community still acknowledges that some discussions related to tools are relevant to Lobsters, and these discussions will be allowed but under a different, more focused tag.
