Shouldn't the mods remove those posts and tell them to post at [email protected] ?

I think it's a good way to organize the community and grow the ones with less engagement.

This community got voted to be a collector community for all of the programming content in the instance

So that kind of thing is allowed to be posted here and people in the comments can give people communities to crosspost it to lead them towards that area for future posts

This makes it so users can be lead to other communities in the instance to then post in instead of not knowing where to do so (if theyre in another instance they cant browse our local communities very well in the default UI without needing a third party site)

I can add a way to automate that with a bot in the comments

Reminds me of the /r/HTML community. It's only purpose was a catchall to guide new programmers to appropriate communities.
