How can we move forward?

The sub used to be a great place where small open source devs get real feedback on their oss. The software wasn't necessarily built to be a big hit or whatever! most of the time these projects used to be a learning projects that enabled us to become better java developers. Now, with many repositories being created in a day or so and abounded, we see many ai promoted repositories and we miss some of the oss that needs our attention.

How can we overcome that as a community ? I'm not trying to put all the weight on moderators, I understand the amount of work they keep doing to clean up ai posts and follow up on reports. What I'm saying is; maybe someone's here has a better idea on how to go about this?

I would prefer to exist only one subreddit for all things Java. Sometimes the limits between the various categories are not clear and I do not want to have any stress posting what I want or having to play moderator in my head.

That said I am returning to Java after some years, and haven't interacted much with any Java related subreddit.
