I think that this is an excellent idea. /r/lesswrong didn’t really take off. I suppose there is /r/slatestarcodex, but it is useful to have this as well
I’m not sure that “interesting specifically to this community” is quite what I’m trying to point at. Taking some of my posts as examples: I want to discourage linking to things like pi.py which might be of general interest to programmers, but not of interest to this community beyond the fact that many of us are programmers. A scream of swifties is more marginal, because swifties feel kind of ingroupy. The sally-anne fallacy is totally relevant.

Also there was an attempt to do this at /r/RationalistDiaspora/, which seems to have died out.

I’m not sure how to feel about political links.
