Thanks for volunteering. I appreciate the change in the community guidelines towards being more welcoming and informative.
A question and some observations, and a suggestion …
What is this community willing to consider as on topic?
The sidebar says this is a place to discuss all things sci-fi but the community name is ‘science fiction.’
‘Sci-fi’ is often considered to encompass all of speculative fiction including horror and fantasy.
‘Science fiction’ can be defined more narrowly. In the old subreddit for sci-fi books, as an example, the discussion could be captured by those who insisted that only classic, hard science fiction, or fiction based on currently established science theory, was science fiction. There seemed to be a fair bit of gatekeeping of more popular franchises or works that involved more speculative science. There was a great deal of dismissiveness from some users about anything with faster than light travel. It made it challenging to have more wide ranging discussions.
My own preference would be for a big tent sci-fi community that embraces all the different permutations of the genres, and allows for the mashups.
If the intent is to go with that big tent speculative fiction definition, in the spirit of being open and welcoming, it would be helpful to be yet more clear in the sidebar on this point.
