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.
Aaaaaaaaa why sideways?
:^) looks fine to me
lol, your pic is sideways.
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.
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.
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.
I made the Android community because the power tripping Reddit mods banned me lol.
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.
Just as good as a Reddit mod is a pretty low bar :)
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 started a community for PhotoshopRequest. I hope the place will thrive. All are welcome aboard
Silly question perhaps? If I “Create a Community” do I automatically become it’s mod. New at this, sorry.
Yeah
So much power!
Yes.
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)
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.

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.
Yeah!
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!
Check out [email protected]
Only rule is “cat.”
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.
Tomorrow, [email protected] will replace r/Philippines
mabuhay ang lemmy! namatay na ang reddit
english: Long live Lemmy! Reddit is dead now!
waves red and black flags
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
