I was one of the many MANY victims of unjust banning, and I just want my niche communities here, all the weird expansion and transformation porn I like, DBD Shitposting, and The Sims 4 troublshooting… ahh…
Do my method: Start it, invite others to mod. Let the passionate ones take over the ones you do not want to keep. Seed content as much or as little as you want. It is very, very passive work.
Definitely. Lemmy is pretty collaborative in that regard. Most communities have lots of mods to help balance the workload. That being said, Lemmy is very much a “grassroots platform”. Everything we have here we build together. Not any one person is required to become involved in creating spaces here, but if there’s a space that doesn’t exist yet and you’d like it to then you’d have to start that ball rolling somewhere.
I settled over here when the API Desaster happend. I lost some communities, but I found new ones. Rarley, I have to engage with reddit for troubleshooting, but I treat it like any forum that I am not registered in, get my info and leave again.
You’ll settle in and you’ll find the places you like here. And then you can always try to start a community of your own and see if it sticks. Many don’t, but some do.
I came during the API debacle as well! It was easy to see enshitification in the proverbial tea leaves.
We really need to stop putting the “M.B.A. having” class of people in charge of things. They’re good at money, and that’s about it. Ask them why they do a thing and you’ll quick realize they’ve nurtured an idea of “fiduciary responsibility” where most people keep their moral compass.
Your average C suit will degrade themselves and everything around themselves until they’re no more than a walking billboard for socialism.
The word you are looking for there is “instance”, like for you lemm.ee is your instance.
And if you scroll to the bottom of any page, you can see the instances list of all the other ones that are connected or disconnected (the latter called more often “defederated”) from yours. lemm.ee is connected to https://lemmynsfw.com/, although it looks like something is wrong with the connection between it and feddit.org (e.g. it’s not reporting even the Lemmy software version for it, plus the encoding for the name looks different than on Lemm.ee - someone may have typed it in wrong?), so @affenlehrer@feddit.org you’ll have to contact your instance admins to tell them about that.
Even then, to connect to the communities for the first time is quite a process: you can figure out what the URL is going to be, then try to go there, then request to join, then wait maybe a day and the content should show up (but only new content form then onwards, while old stuff is a lost cause at that point). Most of the time someone else (with more experience) has already done this for you, but if they have not…
Btw PieFed solves all of these issues (except it might not allow porn? I’m not sure but I don’t see it anywhere there), whereas Lemmy is quite a bit behind in its software experience that it offers. The entire Fediverse though is more for the '“early adopter” mindset than like Reddit, where everything “just works” (so long as what you want is in alignment with increasing their profits). Using Lemmy is a LOT like using Linux - except here there’s basically no documentation that someone is pointed to, you kinda just have to ask or read and find stuff out as you go.
Barely any, sadly. We need more gals (and guys, too) to bare themselves here so it won’t be bare-ly anymore. Bears are acceptable, too. Not just twinks.
I was too, but it was Feb 12-13 I got banned, unjust one of my acc received a 3 day temp ban, but simultaneously it triggered reddit to ban 5 of my other accts site wide, but the ban message never indicated what was the actual violation but the generic" You violated several accounts policies" which made think it was entirely automated
Finally, Reddit can die

Cardinal rule of being a reddit refugee on lemmy: if you want a specific community from reddit that doesnt exist here already, start it.
Can I interest you in !WomensStuff@lazysoci.al I started it this week. It’s for all things women from fashion to strident feminism.
A bit easier said than done: some don’t have the time and mental space to dedicate to moderate a community.

As soon as some activity starts, people who want to mod will show up.

I want my Fandoms and porn here. The niche stuff is the only reason why reddit has any appeal anymore.
Is there even porn on Lemmy? Asking for a friend
Search Lemmy NSFW online, it’s there, just disconnected? I still don’t understand the different “nodes”.

Kill their LLMs training to. It takes a little bit! But it’s script to replace your comments.
