Please add a community/community scope description.

The community description currently says

CircleJerkCommunity at request of a user.

But what is a programming circle jerk? What is a circle jerk? What is desired and accepted content? What's the expectation and scope on content?

It would help understanding what content to expect (subscribe, block, keep neutral?) and what may be postable or not.

(I was surprised about some post content being in this community and wanted to check my expectation/understanding.)

I can't define jerking but I know it when I see it.

It's worth considering the original sub rules:

Original sources only, no manufactured jerk
No socialjerking (IMO this one is super critical to not just devolve politics spam)
No crazy people
No enthusiastic youngsters
No long unjerk threads
No implicitly untagged jerk (this will probably be hard to enforce since some replies seem to be serious)
