Do not optimize for comments when you need someone to test a flow.
Use community posts to feed attention into a structured review request.
FAQ
Questions founders ask
Can I use both?
Yes. Use Indie Hackers for audience and context, then route interested founders into a structured FeedbackQueue review.
Which is better for first product feedback?
FeedbackQueue is better when you need people to actually test and critique a specific page, feature, or onboarding path.
