Every user after subscribing to !memes@midwestfarmersonly.gg:
I’ve taken to learning German since that’s half my front page right now. Apparently they all found feddit.de haha
I just want ShitPostCrusaders to magically be here and popular xD I miss them
I don’t want to open a community (I rarely post anything) but it would be nice to have a way to ‘watch’ for the few I’d somewhat be interested in.
I’m aware.
That may be useful if I had saved searches that I could come back to like on the RES dashboard. Otherwise, checking or subbing to that will just be pointless noise for me as the stuff I’m talking about is niche.
If a Lemmy app can help solve this problemnin the future it will be something that sets itself apart from the pack.
Such is the life in the new frontiers
I just looked at my subs…and ngl, there’s alot. Some of them I would have never thought to sub to on reddit, but I find each one super interesting, and besides, nearly every post on here is thought provoking so I haven’t sorted by subscribed since I joined on 11th.
Ik it’s just a meme but if you can’t find a community from Reddit on Lemmy you can try finding it on sub.rehab, a list of subreddits that have migrated and where you can find them or the community browser.
i came for the birding
Message the sub mods! Politely of course.
Even something as simple as “Hey I love this sub but like alot of people won’t be using reddit anymore without Sync or Apollo. Planning on making a Lemmy/Kbin community?”
They can’t know to switch if they don’t know there’s demand
I did the lazy way and copypasted your quote msg to the subs I like. Let’s see how it goes!
That’s great!
Also, if you didn’t know, Reddit Sync’s dev is already working on Sync for Lemmy, and Artemis basically looks like Apollo’s spiritual successor. You could mention that in your messages too.
That’s the way, it’s important to not go back there, communities will appear because people like you and me will create an alternative to that communities.
And people like me will sit around and wait for yall…
Since it didn’t exist I made !lotrmemes@midwest.social
I’d start a community/magazine on my own based on subreddits that have no analogue here (e.g., cassette futurism, Comedy Bang Bang, Doughboys) but would that require me to be a mod or whatever? I’d be fine providing material as if I were seeding a garden, until more users come in and it becomes active on its own, but I don’t want to be watching it over constantly or anything like that.
I feel you. You can start your community and post content to get started and then handover moderation if/when others join. I considered doing the same but unfortunately I just don’t have the content to get started with so I’m more down to wait and see. I’ve made a list of my favourite subs and set a weekly reminder on my phone to check on here if they exist.
Yeah, I may just do that, like post a sticky/pinned thread (if that’s A Thing here, idk) saying that whoever is interested is welcome to take over modship. I just want to get something started. Maybe this weekend, why not.
Yea you’d be the mod. I’m in the same boat, I really don’t want to moderate people. But I made one anyway. It will take time, but I’m trying to cultivate it to the best of my ability.
We’re making it up as we go. It’s pretty awesome.
I think the feddiverse is gonna turn out a bit different than reddit. For sure. And for the better.
I’m not sure if my community has a 1 to 1 with reddit, and that’s the best part. We’re all mods here.
