We’ve been more lenient on content with some general applicability but are also seeing a lot of very device-specific technical support questions posted. These specific question posts can end up with little activity and drown out other content. It can be very hard to course correct once a community becomes associated with tech support, partly because it leads folks who aren’t interested in it to unsubscribe.
Directing folks to !askandroid also means being able to offer more specific guidance in the sidebar, like suggesting submitters provide more info about their situation or device.
Some examples of submissions:
Safe mode missing in main menu on Xiaomi phone. How to enter safe mode?
OnePlus 8 charging port damaged
How’s Nova launcher on a Pixel?
Help to find a Digital Planner App for a Moto Stylus Phone?
