I love using matlab but wasn't aware a matlab community exists. Although I'm unaware of most communities.
MATLAB is my first and so far the best skill. I have benefit a lot from this community and I have also contributed as much as I can in order to benefit other community members.
The communities I'm familiar with have places to hang out/chat, plan events, share pics of your gerbils, make friends...
Matlab Central feels more like a game sometimes, community service at other times. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing.
The way it is now, some people might feel like a serveants of the community rather than members. While it's amazing to help people with the questions they have, because sometimes, someone might ask a question in which you can learn something new. However, the same questions keep repeating because users: (1) "don't have time" to go through the basics with MATLAB Onramp, (2) can't be bothered to use a search tool, (3) want someone else to solve their problem.
For this to be a better (I am not saying it's bad) community, I feel that the knowledge shared here should be led to rather than repeated because there is so much of it already! For example if the question has already been asked before, rather close it and directly point it to the possible solutions. This way contributors save more time and less low-effort questions are asked on forum.
"Do you feel like you're part of the community?" Hmmm I don't know...
"Do you feel like you're the familiar vagrant who sleeps behind the dumpster?" Yeah, that's more like it.
I answered "probably not" tho I spend lots of time here because I do not feel I am a community member until I contribute.
Unsurprisingly, half of the early voters went for a 'yes' option
