Awesome that it is possible though how obvious is that to users? I know there is a "manage" link once a post is created but it seems like it would be worth having on the actual post creation page.

This is good feedback for sure.

I think that this is pretty hidden in the UI as well as the ability to anti-follow tags that you mentioned previously.

In future UI updates, we should consider making these features more easily discoverable.

Just want to add: checked out the /manage functionality, and a scale of 1-10 is wayyy too intimidating. A simple scale of "beginner, mid-level, advanced, expert" would probably be fine. I spent a couple minutes trying to decide, hmmm, is this post better suited for level 6 or level 7? Am I sacrificing views if I choose a higher level?

Oooo I like this idea. Simplifying the scale here makes a lotta sense.

Agreed. I've literally sat for a minute trying to decide 4? or 5?... or 4?
