This is the impression I had of this list:
You need to look at this one instead, for mail list info:
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Communication_channels#Mailing_lists
opensuse-factory@opensuse.org - This is the list for technical discussions related to the development of the openSUSE Distributions..
It does not limit the mail list to a single distribution ;-)
I see a lot of Leap discussion here, which as I run Tumbleweed, doesnt apply to me. Perhaps I should just look for another medium then.
No, this is the correct mail list for Tumbleweed. There are other avenues, like the forum, but the mail list is where you will find most recent info and access to the developers.
The Leap discussions are temporary, because Leap is Beta phase. In about a month they will be silent till next release.
However, for questions about user things, you can and should just use the plain opensuse@opensuse.org mail list, but saying that you are using TW. Questions like "I have a problem with LibreOffice".
Don't worry if some one appears to growl. We don't bite ;-) Even old timers are growled at sometimes :-p
We are from many countries, cultures, different senses of humour, different triggers... Just bear with us for a little while and you'll start to appreciate us ;-)
I left opensuse@opensuse.org because of the bickering. I was not getting much out of it. I want to be a member of openSUSE but not at the cost of having to bicker about one thing or another all the time. Or, the way someone words something. I really enjoy this distro. As I've told some folks, I used mac for 7 years before settling on openSUSE. I tried several .deb versions and even devuan. None set my feelings as this one. And I like the rolling releases. It matches Windows, Mac, Gentoo, and a couple others now. I dont care for Leap as that is a maintained periodic release like Fedora. So, the bickering just turns me off.

Well stick around, its normally not bad. the community for the most part is really friendly and helpful, if you want other ways to interact with them there is also the forums and #suse on freenode's irc network. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
