I once needed help on a project I was working on (building a lithium iron battery pack out of 18560 cells) and posted as DIYGirl. Got a ton of responses in a relatively less-traversed tech-heavy sub-reddit. If you explicitly state you are female people will treat you different.
- nataliehacks 13y agoHa, I've heard similar stories before. Let's see what happens when I post my next side-project under this account.

- pavanred 13y agoWell, not necessarily the only factor. When I was living in Bangalore (a few years ago), I remember that if I post a question on StackOverFlow at night (Indian Standard Time), I had a higher chance of getting more responses than if I did it during the day. I presumed it must be because that translates into about morning in Americas and mid day in Europe and probably these places had the bulk of the active users.
