Hello Grant.

Subreddit seems to be a good fit.

Subject: {{Quickfixn}} what is the best way to keep receiving QF/n updates?

Hi all (again),
I've been wondering for a while now if this mailing list might not be the best way to maintain this community.

Furthermore, a while ago Gmail changed something and stopped liking what our maillist software was sending, causing all Gmail to bounce-reject the list's mails to such addresses, which then caused our list to unsubscribe all of them.  Obviously this list is useless if it excludes one of the world's largest email vendors.

I have explored a little.  There are a few paid mail-list services that are a little more than I'm willing to pay (or request from my employer).  Google Groups is an option, but kind of a hassle for non-Gmail users.  Sourceforge is still around, and powers the lists of QF/C++ and QF/j (who both originated there); I don't love it, but it may be the most... adequate choice.

But... do we still want a mail list?  Is there something better I should use?  A Subreddit?  A Bluesky account?  An old-school-style forum?   I would love to hear any suggestions.

(Except Discord.  I'm abolutely not doing a Discord, haha.)

By the way, do you know we have a LinkedIn group?  https://www.linkedin.com/groups/4745848
I'll keep posting about QF/n releases there, but I don't want to use it as a primary hub.
(Apologies if this is a duplicate email.  I tried to send an earlier version but I think I might have found other mail-list bug!)

Thanks!
-Grant
