We need some basic communities to move here

Can we bring some communities here please?

We need a m/unixporn please! Why on Earth is that in a for-profit platform when kbin is available escapes to my understanding.

EDIT: Why is this being shown in Calckey as CW content when it isn't?

  • You can create it on this instance of Fedia.io if it doesn’t exist! Click the plus in top right > create new magazine

    Be the change you want to see

    • Yup. I've made two, and I'll "spam" them with content when I'm able. Something is better than nothing as long as it's relevant and not self-promoting. If the other 2 people subbed don't want to see it, I'm happy to hear it from them lol

  • TL;DR if we build it they will come

    long version: Patience is called for here. It will eventually happen, but it will take a bit for many people. Because the folks who will make that happen are the existing mods of communities that have proven themselves willing to work hard for their community, and they will take convincing, which means that they'll need to convince themselves, and that takes time. Part of what will convince them is when they see the kinks being worked out of the system

    It's worth remembering that there were many migration waves from the birdsite before Mastodon truly took off and we had some real hiccups along the way.

    The moderators currently in revolt over at Reddit will slowly start realizing that a federated model will give them more control over their own destiny - and their own content - but first they need some comfort with Lemmy and interfaces like Fedia.

    If you want to hurry things along, grab some like minded people and start a Migration Best Practices community here that can walk people through the move and help set their expectations as to what can be done here and what is better here and why it's better. But you gotta want it. If it were as easy as saying 'hey, we need more communities' it would have already been done.

  • The Calckey thing is because it's a thread. Calckey (I've not used it so just guessing) probably puts the title as the CW, and the body below.
    If you post a microblog you'll get just the text.
