    TIL Recommendation Lists are a thing.
    Here are a few suggestions
    • Improve onboarding of users who've never used this feature. It could be a flag somewhere in the database tracking this, so that a dismissable message is shown to accounts older than a given threshold
    • Elaborating on that, a single, short blog tip entry or 'Did you know?' tip could be displayed on the front page to draw attention to lesser-known stuff. It could be something like tiles to look a bit nicer while staying compact
    • It could also be promoted in the Looking For subforum
    • Change the label to Recommendation Lists on the sidebar. The current "Lists" link is not self-explanatory -- I've always thought it linked to my reading lists, actually
    • On the Recommendation List proper, show ratings next to the site's average: theirs (list creator), mine
      Here's a simple mockup:
