It might be interesting to have people share their experiences with things like Hacktoberfest, GitHub's game jam (starting next week!), or Advent of Code; granted, that could result in a lot of clutter on the front page that not everyone is interested in, so some filtration might be necessary were this to take off.

Also, remember when everyone was sharing their GitHub graveyards? That was cool!

So, it sounds like you would like to see more user driven trends and, like, topic/format posts rather than having staff driven topic threads? Ex: people sharing their Hacktoberfest PRs in the hacktoberfest tag rather than a hacktoberfest wrap up post where people talk about their PRs in the comments?

Yeah, but I'm not really sure of the format it would take - I've just noticed that comments become untenable at a certain point, but scattering all of the Hacktoberfest content across various posts might also be hard to keep up with =/

For sure. I definitely don't have any answers either, but I think it's super interesting. Because I definitely want to see what people are working on for Hacktoberfest or a game jam, and I'd love to see Advent of Code solutions. But organizing it seems really difficult.
