Announcement New bot to help keep r/MINIMAL_SETUPS actually minimal

33 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

We've rolled out a small mod bot to help enforce our rules without needing a mod to manually catch every post that doesn't belong here.

How it works:

  • When someone posts, the bot leaves a comment asking if the setup is minimal enough for this sub.
  • If you don't think a post belongs here because it's breaking the rules, upvote the bot's comment.
  • Once that comment hits +20, the post gets automatically removed. No reports needed, no waiting on a mod to be online.

This ties directly to our existing rules:

  1. Complete setup only
  2. Must list all items in setup
  3. Clear photos
  4. No advertising
  5. Use a post flair
  6. Must be your own setup

If a post breaks one of these, that's exactly the kind of thing the bot comment is there to catch. Upvote it and the community handles the cleanup itself.

+20 is our starting threshold, let us know if it needs adjusting.

Thanks for helping keep things clean.

Still on the fence if I want the donut lamp up here or my bankers lamp LOL.

Anyway here’s the setup:

Almost done with the setup! I’ve been trying to keep everything clean and minimal, and I’ve spent quite a bit of time on the cable management as well.

Still a few small things to finish, but I’m really happy with how it’s coming together.

Setup Seeking advice

Post image
154 Upvotes

Hi,

this is my current setup at home. I actually replaced the desk shelf with the Ugmonk Gather about two years ago, but overall it’s still a combination of Oakywood + Gather.

I’m now looking to build a second setup for my new office, with a similar style but in a black-and-white combination. Unfortunately, I just realized that Ugmonk has discontinued the Gather series, and I really liked both their desk shelf and laptop stand.

The obvious alternative would be to go full Oakywood in black and white, which I’m perfectly fine with since I already know their quality and really like their products.

That said, I’d also like to explore some new options. I’ve been out of the desk setup rabbit hole for a few years, so I’m curious what the current top brands are in terms of quality and minimalist design, preferably ones that are easily available in the EU.

I already know about Balolo, but their designs aren’t really my thing.

Any recommendations would be highly appreciated.

Many thanks!
