We moved to !casualconversation@piefed.social please look for https://lemm.ee/post/66060114 in your instance search bar
Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

that makes sense, and I tend to use
/c/
when there is an actual Lemmy community (even if I'm referring to the more general idea meant by that community) precisely for that reason - but I'm also not sure we can entirely distance ourselves from Reddit, most of our users are from Reddit and are still active on Reddit, and Lemmy is a clone of Reddit. Maybe that's all the more reason for trying to show how we are distinct, but we also depend on our Reddit-ness as a community here, including in-jokes about subreddits and the general culture that existed on Reddit and which has partially migrated to places like Lemmy.And no worries about not starting the community on your instance, I think it makes more sense to create a community once there is interest rather than create another empty / dead stub of a community for the sake of completeness.
