I'd say #1 or #3, I'm leaning more towards #3

My vote for #3!

#1 by a mile. More recognizable and mean go full for the lurkers and noobs and folks who are f sure their question is worth asking. (It is!)

I’m fully off Reddit these days but the FP community over there was friendly, high yield, and high value even just scrolling through.

That IMHO is what we want here and the image is a big part of it.
