r/apify subreddit is ready for you!

For those of you who are on Reddit, I've done a lowkey revamp of the subreddit and made it Public so you can post and comment freely: https://www.reddit.com/r/apify/

I have set up some discussion threads for every day, so you can join in the conversation - or get one started! *Because this is the first week, you may have to wait a few days for a relevant thread to show up for promoting yourself etc. If you haven't seen the weekly thread you're waiting for by next Thursday, let me know and I will consider adding another one. *

I would love some of your starter questions in today's first questions thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/apify/comments/1o2ja1k/weekly_no_stupid_questions/

I'm u/ellatronique on Reddit and I'm looking forward to seeing some of you there!
