Hi everyone,

I've been nearly two months using SourceHut (or sr.ht, if you prefer)
and lurking on this list. However, I was going to answer today, and this
question came to my head: should I reply to all or reply only to the
list?

What's the netiquette regarding that? Replying to all will send those
people the email twice? I didn't find anything on the mailing list
ettiquete linked to in the archives page.

I tried testing it by myself, and both seemed to work, this is just to
confirm. And another question came to my head: is there a way for list
administrators to see the number or list of subscribers? GNU Mailman has
this option where admins can see who is subscribed to the list, and I
didn't find this on lists.sr.ht. Does it exist, is it planned...?

Also, is there any plan to implement Mailing List digests? Subscribers
to high-volume lists could benefit from that, receiving a single email
every day instead of one for each conversation.

Sorry if this should be multiple shorter emails, or doesn't belong to
this list. Please tell me if that's was the case.

Best Regards

Always reply all. It won't send the mail twice, and it will make sure
that those who are not subscribed, but are participating in the thread,
are kept in the loop.

No, this falls under the category of features we think of as "dopamine
dispensers", for which there are few to no legitimate use-case other
than ego stroking.

Not presently, no. We prefer that you use filters to organize your mail.
