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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Only rule is “cat.”
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.

Tomorrow, !pilipinas@lemmy.ml will replace r/Philippines
God I hope so. That poll was a joke.
I started a community for PhotoshopRequest. I hope the place will thrive. All are welcome aboard
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.
I created lotrmemes@midwest.social because it’s one of the communities I knew I’d miss the most. Now the user base is growing
Hi from Feddit! I‘ve been a passionate bass player for nearly 2 decades now and started a Bass related community over at !bassment@feddit.de, feel welcome to join me and have a chat about your favorite artist, gear, pedals, playing gigs and whatever else comes to mind!
Just as good as a Reddit mod is a pretty low bar :)
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)
Everyone opening a commujity is as “official” and legitimate as anyo ither community on any other platform. The userbase decide how succesfull it will be but besides that, unless you own the IP hour bulding a community around (like if your the game developer or something) I feel like “official “ is a weird way to describe a Community
Thank you, I started my subreddit on artificial intelligence and posted 100+ posts here so far and hearing that is nice. But the fact that I basically steal news and content from reddit doesn’t help much tbh lol.
Silly question perhaps? If I “Create a Community” do I automatically become it’s mod. New at this, sorry.
Yeah
Thank you. Much appreciated.
So much power!
Yes.
