I agree about having a best-practices forum, of some sort, beyond the
email list.
We've got some very good power users and when they contribute things,
that's great, but using a mailing list or even mailing list archives is
like looking through a toilet-paper roll to drive. Very tunnel-vision
like.
I like the idea of a subreddit, but I'd guess that probably less than
50% of the users use reddit.
Perhaps we could use Github's Wiki feature of the
https://github.com/mailmate/ site. It doesn't appear that it's enabled,
or rather, it is enabled but it just redirects us to the markdown manual
(https://github.com/mailmate/mailmate_manual) again.
We could agree to limit the scope to a best-practices wiki, and thus
wouldn't have a lot of scope creep.

It could be, but I assume that Benny has his hands full (and would
like time off). Resources like that can involve multiple layers of
work (writing, updating with releases, etc); and sometimes they're
best done by users — for example, as a subreddit.

A Mailmate tips/tricks resource would very useful to fill the gap

This isn't intended as a criticism of MM at all — on the contrary,
I'm just thinking about a resource that could help it to grow.
Why can’t the manual have this as part of it?
(BTW, I’ve got a months-old PR on the manual:
https://github.com/mailmate/mailmate_manual .)
