Transitioning from Reddit
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
No mod abuse, you say?
LOL 😭
At least we can distance ourselves from that and create our own communities.
Some events like these still give me hope: https://lemmy.cafe/post/12094663
TL;DR
Admin abuse by the blahaj mods triggered mod abuse by the 196 mod, all because one popular troll in the .blahaj space demanded everyone call them "dragonfucker" instead of "they/them" ( I wish I was kidding )
The 196 community now is split between .blahaj and .world, depending on which internet janitor personally wronged them.
You forget to mention the !196 mods never asked their community about moving.
Anyway the fact that the communities could move and exist elsewhere in the same platform with minimum friction is a sign that this place is much better than Reddit. Over there, if you disagree with the admins, there's nowhere to go.
I also didn't mention that the blahaj admins never asked about banning half the users off of the most popular community in the instance.
But yeah the fediverse is better than reddit, just commenting that internet janitors will trip on the smallest amount of power. But it is nice the structure of these spaces can allow communities to grow past the inevitable petty power trips.
Oh god not dragonfucker. They’re just trolling, right?
And maybe even that mod
Hi & welcome!
They won't do much to help you find something specifically related to what you're already subscribed to, but those might still help find interesting communities. You may also want to present you new community there ;)
Thank you so much! I'll check them out and promote my community there. 😌
I also recommend subscribing to !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl - it's a bot that gives daily reports on subs that are growing in both activity and subscriptions.
Subscribed! Thank you. 😌
There is sub.rehab
This is awesome! Thank you so much.
Just a heads up, I think that site is no longer being maintained.
Very nice. Haven't seen that before.
That's a pretty great site!
The Voyager app for Lemmy had a feature that would automatically search for all of your reddit subs and recommend corresponding Lemmy communities. I haven't used it in a while to be sure though.
I'll check it out! Thank you. 😌
Welcome! Nice to have you here!
This bad boy has helped me find some good communities https://feddit.nl/c/trendingcommunities
(I don't know yet how to share the fancy links)
