I keep seeing communities on lemmy writing in their bio “not official” or in some way deferring to the reddit community. I also see them writing that they’re willing to give up their community to the reddit mods if they ask. It’s like the whole place has imposter syndrome.
We’re the adults, guys.
We’re here. This is our community now. We broke up with that site, and we are making a new one. Run your community the way you think it should be run. Their communities are not any more official than ours. This is our place, not theirs.
We’re the adults. We’re the mods. We’re the community.
Please don’t give up your place for Reddit mods. A lot of them are abusive shitheads and by no means more qualified to do this than anyone else.
Yeah, we don’t want to become reddit mods. They have been power tripping for too many years and live sad lives, and the stereotype was just proven true when spes threatened to strip them from their power. We can be so much better than fucking reddit mods.
Exactly, reddit mods are the epitome of the Samuel L. Jackson’s character from Django.
I made the Android community because the power tripping Reddit mods banned me lol.
hear hear.
i posted this yesterday, but i’ll post it here again, just as a reminder:
You can post pictures in comments?? I was so confused thinking i scrolled to another posts for a sec.
yes! Lemmy supports inline pics in comments!
They are not visible in Mlem.
Mlem is an early beta and is not feature complete. You should learn to be patient.
Enjoy this view while you wait.
lol, your pic is sideways.
Aaaaaaaaa why sideways?
I don’t know that lemmy or the app. The pic is right side up before I uploaded. That needs to be fixed.
Best feature I love here and also can control the text as well. Always wanted to add pics in comments without having to link to imgur now we can.
Of all memes, I was not expecting a DS9 one, bravo
Corporations are killing their own platforms and the nerds are building their own decentralized social media network. The internet is healing.
Is this actually happening? Reddit bots posting negative impact content to torpedo Lemmy?
I know the other day I saw John Oliver and Disney on the front page. I hope those users gets banned.
Sure, except i don’t have time to be a proper mod (and that includes due diligence in vetting new mods) so it’s easiest to just let the old reddit mods have it. I haven’t started any communities but i definitely understand why people would want the reddit mods to retake control of a given community, and if i do start one i’d put that in the description as well
I’m kind of in the same spot. I created a community for Playstation Plus on Lemmy.World (no idea how to link it though). It’s mostly just a reminder to claim the free monthly games they give out, a place to discuss the free games, a place to speculate on upcoming free games, etc… By default, I’m a moderator over there now, but I have no interest in dedicating a ton of time to it. For now, post volume is basically zero, so there’s nothing to do from a mod POV, but I have no idea what I would do if the place grows and starts getting spammed with unrelated content.
Just as good as a Reddit mod is a pretty low bar :)
Hi from Feddit! I‘ve been a passionate bass player for nearly 2 decades now and started a Bass related community over at [email protected], feel welcome to join me and have a chat about your favorite artist, gear, pedals, playing gigs and whatever else comes to mind!
Tomorrow, [email protected] will replace r/Philippines
God I hope so. That poll was a joke.
mabuhay ang lemmy! namatay na ang reddit
english: Long live Lemmy! Reddit is dead now!
waves red and black flags
Silly question perhaps? If I “Create a Community” do I automatically become it’s mod. New at this, sorry.
Yeah
So much power!
Thank you. Much appreciated.
Yes.
For racing enthousiast I created c/wec. Feel free to join!
Hi from kbin. I run what we call a magazine or zine if you’re from the early 90s. Mine is found at http://kbin.social/m/tvsuggestions. It’s obviously for people to recommend or ask for suggestions about television or streaming episodic media. E.g. You can say “I’m looking for urban fantasy from before 9/11”. And someone might say Buffy. Anyway. Join it and let’s all love one the most pervasive and greatest mediums of art: television.
Check out [email protected]
Only rule is “cat.”
Yeah, I had my issues with both r/japaneselanguage and r/learnjapanese on reddit, so I decided to create a more language-focused community for Japanese learners at [email protected], and I think the community is looking great so far. Hopefully the new lemmy communities will be a good opportunity to address what we think hasn’t been working as well in the past.
I created [email protected] for League of Legends players. Not many migrated due to the subreddit not participating in the blackout but we’re still growing. Come join if you’re an active player or just interested :)
Speaking as a (for now) mod on reddit, I don’t owe anyone the right to mod another community; I’m happy to offer advice from my previous experience, but if others want to be a mod they can go ahead.
The bit about letting the previous reddit mods take over is really weird to me. None of us own our respective community in any way. Also why I (and the rest of the mod team) aren’t forcing any kind of migration, it should be voluntary.
Love this sentiment! I think we are in a bit of a teething period where people aren’t quite sure but hopefully everyone embraces and contributes!
Heck yeah! I just signed up to lemmy and there’s alot for me to learn about this platform but it sure beats seeing a bunch of John Oliver pics and NSFW stuff on reddit lately
Omg, I am so sick of seeing John Oliver and Disney properties on the front page. It feels like a breath of fresh air being here.
