Reddit

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.

hear hear.

i posted this yesterday, but i'll post it here again, just as a reminder:

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

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

Silly question perhaps? If I "Create a Community" do I automatically become it's mod. New at this, sorry.

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.

For racing enthousiast I created c/wec. Feel free to join!

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!

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.

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.

Check out [email protected]

Only rule is "cat."

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 :)

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

I like this attitude. Nothing can make a ressit community the official unless if it's a branded product's reddit, and at that point, why the FUCK do you want your community in the control of the brand?

You can't removed about Riot on the LeagueofLegends sub like you can removed about Blizzard on Overwatch and whatnot. That is not a good location for the communty.

Except in my community no one joined the lemming and then when I polled them on participation in the strike they voted to reopen https://lemmy.ml/post/1328516 https://www.reddit.com/r/Threads1984/comments/14cw78l/rthreads_is_both_reopened_and_committed_to_the/

Trying to gradually Normalize Lemmy and convince them of the need to prepare For spezpocalypse and prepare Spez shelters that will ensure the survival of R/Threads1984 and which they can flee to when IPO begins to hit With Lemmy it is more then likely I will have to build the living community from scratch with the Lemming or Squabbles giving refuge to those seeking Spez shelters

Thank you for this. The imposter syndrome is real, especially starting what were some larger subreddits (gifs, coolguides, Shiba, and helping with Today I Learned). It's been fun and I'm super happy to see the interactions and genuine conversation. We're certainly our own community, and I'm so happy the fediverse is growing into something I can easily burn time on here and there.

I started a community for PhotoshopRequest. I hope the place will thrive. All are welcome aboard

Based and modpilled.

I've been thinking about handing over control of my sublemmies to the reddit mods but I've changed my mind now that I've read this post. NO!

WE THE PEOPLE OF LEMMY AND THE FEDIVERSE REFUSE TO HAND OVER OUR SUBLEMMIES TO THE CORRUPT REDDIT MODS!

AND WE DECLARE INDEPENDENCE FROM THE REDDIT MODS! (refugees welcome)

Yeah!

I created [email protected] because it's one of the communities I knew I'd miss the most. Now the user base is growing

I think a part of the "giving up to reddit mods" is the hopes that it will incentivise the reddit mods to push their subreddit to the community instead of trying to keep people on reddit just to maintain power.

Personally I have made several communities that I enjoyed in reddit. While I dont mind modding it's kind of a pain in the ass as well though.

I have several subs that I mod that the other mods want to remain open. I get it. I really do. So I keep notifications on and mod as needed but spend my time here.

I wonder if they’re creating “temporary” communities to do their part in supporting the fediverse, but perhaps they are unable to volunteer to the degree that is required to mod a community longterm. I’d be curious to hear from someone who’s offering up their community to reddit mods who moderate the reddit equivalent.

This is the dawn of a new era. The dark times preceding it will fade into legend and myth. Future generations will look back and see these communities as where it all began. Always remember that you mods, new and old alike, didn’t bring down the sword on the old age. You picked it up when the call to action rang out.

i offered to let r/SilentHill mods mod on @SilentHill because 1. I swiped the name up and 2. I want to encourage more migration in the name of the protests

Anyone know how long federation generally takes? I have a community on lemmy.world that's 5-days old, and kbin.social & lemmy.ml don't see it.
