View submission: Making it easier to host events
Specific Question with regards to the "Post Now to allow to follow" option.
So if I posted an AMA that is actually happening some days later in that way, you note:
In the coming weeks, following the event will send them an app notification when the event starts.
But what happens when it starts? Does that post kick back to the new queue at that time like it was reposted? Or is it still basically just acting as an *announcement* to remind users, but the AMA itself should be posted as a new thread, and a link edited into the original post, if we want it to show up properly in the new queue?
Anyways, the Post Collections sounds like a very welcome addition, as it hopefully makes up for some of the duel functionality that was lost from link flair when searching by css_class was disabled. Looking forward to giving it a try.

What I think would make sense in this scenario is to create a collection and put your AMA announcement post in it as well as the AMA itself (with event metadata). What we hope happens is: users see the announcement post for the AMA and follows it. When the next event post in the collection starts, we'll send a push notification to the user and pop a special notification in app/on the site, letting them know the AMA has started.
In the future we may play with when we send notifications and how we present it to them (e.g. some users may want to join the conversation and ask questions and other may just want to read the final AMA).
