A subreddit for Folding@home donors to discuss topics
December 3, 2014 by Vijay Pande ·

At https://www.reddit.com/r/foldingathome, we’ve created a subreddit dedicated to improving the bi-directional flow of communication between Folding@home donors, researchers, and developers. Although the official community-driven technical support forum is over in foldingforum.org, that board’s phpbb format makes it challenging for researchers and developers to quickly see what feedback topics are the most popular at a given time. Reddit has several advantages in this regard; it’s easy to upvote topics that are on-topic and helpful, and comments-on-comments feature allows for subtopics to exist without completely derailing the top-level responses.

In short, it’s a better system for certain types of communication than the forum. Although technical support is in the Folding Forum, you can submit topics on the subreddit for general discussions on Folding@home.

For those new to reddit, some handy tips.

Topics are sorted by the Hot tab as a default (most recently commented threads). Select the Top tab, then select a time range from the drop down list, to sort topics by their voting scores. The default time setting only shows the most recent few posts.

Unlike a forum, some of the newer comments are buried lower in the discussion chain. Click on a user's name to see all posts by that person. Most helpful IMO, click on Dr. Pande's name.
