Discussion: What makes good Content on DEV Community? 🚀🌟

Hello fellow dev,

I hope you are all doing great.

I've been wondering 🤔 what makes a post beneficial to the DEV community.

There are many great posts out here, but I've noticed a mix of quality.

For example; incomplete posts, some relevant ones contain grammar and punctuation mistakes, while others seem unrelated to this platform.

I acknowledge the tag for off-topic subjects, but I've noticed that some posts lack it.

How can we continuously ensure high-quality content and provide valuable experiences for everyone?

Some points to consider:

• What makes a post valuable and informative for you as a developer?
• What criteria would you use to evaluate a post's quality (low or high) and relevance to the community?
• How important are clarity, accuracy, and usefulness when reading content?
• Have you noticed any posts that seem irrelevant or contain grammar and punctuation errors? How do these affect your experience?
• What are other points that you have noticed, good or bad?

I look forward to your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below! 💬 🙂

I wish you all a happy weekend ahead. 🌞

This is an excellent question! ✨ As an active post publisher on here, I am wondering about the same thing!

Welcome to DEV by the way! 😃

Thank you, Anita, for the welcome 😊

That's great.

My thoughts:
The value of the content might be determined by the readers, depending on their level. For instance, a junior might see more value in a certain post than a more experienced one.

It depends on who our target audience is when writing an article.

Also, having constructive feedback is valuable—a good way to improve.

Some other criteria to consider include the relevance of the article, clarity, how to keep your audience engaged, and the value it brings to the readers.

It has not been long since I joined the community and decided to start writing.

It would be great to hear others' thoughts on these questions.
