Ah, yes. The one thing Lemmy was still missing.
Do they have to be current-day events? Or can we recreate moments from history?
Historical sounds good too, it might be easier and in better taste too
The example post was from the early days of Reddit
do an AMA, sockpuppeting as someone else
I'm interested but I don't quite understand it yet - like an RP community except doing news?
It doesn't have to be current news, I was thinking any events might work
I'm also trying to keep this open to see if it affects community growth, open to seeing what people want to do
Why are napkins included with socks?
Sorry the post was unclear, I just clarified. Doodling on a napkin was an example of post format, to show that it doesn't need to be very detailed :)
Oh i see. So much for the napkin puppets. :)
What are napkins but unstitched socks

FAQ:
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
