Yeah, sorry about the run-on sentence title, but I hope you get what I’m saying
That was me. I don’t really feel like modding. I was offered a few mod spots on reddit over the past 11 years, took up one or two, didn’t really enjoy it.
But if everyone feels that way, then lemmy can never reach critical mass. SO i bit the bullet, created a community and hopefully someone will be interested in modding if it ever grows big.
If anyone’s interested, I created maliciouscompliance (one of my favorite subs to lurk in). Mostly reposts for now, but OC should trickle in slowly.
Try joining from one of the links below:
/c/maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world
https://lemmy.world/c/maliciouscompliance
Or type the following in the search bar at the top: !maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world
If you need help modding it I’d definitely be willing to help out. It’s one of my favorite communities on Reddit
Hey thanks for taking one for the team. I always love maliciouscompliance, so I’m glad we have it here now. Appreciate you!
<3
Oh nice I liked that subreddit too, will join
I really appreciate the work and contribution of everyone here, to make this a great place. :)
<3
Thank you! (One of my favorites so glad it’s now here.)
You’re welcome!
Yes. 1000% for some of the NSFW subs I used to enjoy
Thirsty!
Ew.
You got my first downvote.
Oh, how I’ve missed seeing the number of downvotes.
That was one of the first changes I disliked that reddit forced down our throats. Seeing the actual totals (without the nonsense “vote fuzzing”) is much more engaging.
Exactly. Ok sure, so somebody said something either not popular or a bit stupid, but “filtering” them out is equally stupid, if not more. You promote echo chambers that way.
Man you really forget what you miss after awhile, it’s so good to see it back
It’s been a while ain’t it. That was the first time i knew Reddit didn’t care about our opinions.
How dare somebody use adult content.
On this Christian site! The nerve! I need to Investigate it for research purposes
It’s times like this I appreciate that Reddit automatically hid low scoring comments
That’s also part of what made reddit a huge echo chamber. Enough downvotes and a post disappears from view. Sure it hides toxic posts, but it also hides dissenting opinions.
Honesty! EW!
As a former reddit mod who’s made some communities here, so far they are 0% of the work of the reddit ones (not that I was working hard on the reddit communities, I set up automod and let it run). But so far I haven’t had to do any mod work here because there’s basically no spam and no bots. I’m sure that will change, but I can also just recruit more mods as the communities grow.
how recently were you a mod on reddit? I’ve been trying to raise discussions on various communities that I follow about a possible migration and I’m receiving a lot of indifference from the userbase. However, I feel like the mod userbase feels differently given the widespread blackout (many of these communities joined the blackout but it seems like a lot of their users are unaware or unconcerned with the changes.)
my question is do you think the mods are more sympathetic to migrating platforms?
I think it’s a mix, some places did a poll and it was like 30% of prople who use 3rd party apps, so it’s a minority that’ll be impacted, and disproportionatly mods because native modding tools suck.
I miss my cat subs. The bigger ones like OneOrangeBraincell, StandardIssueCats, and VoidCats.
And some of the specific ones like Sploot, Toolps (reverse of sploot for the unintiated), KittyCankles, ScrungyCat,
NamFlashbacks. Mainly because my I took new pictures of my cats and wanted to post them there.
illegallysmolcats. There are not near enough cat pic subs. I NEED MORE CATS.
when my Zelda was just a kittenSharing mine when they were still illegally smols
There’s an illegallysmolcats. I subbed to it today. I’m on my phone so I can’t easily post the link but if you search for the name, it should come up.
Might have been created since the last time i searched. Thank you.
Someone needs to keep those criminals in check!
OneOrangeBraincell was sooo good. Oh those sweet dopey boys
There’s one here. Also standard issue cats.
I made this one! https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/cats And then I found this one! https://lemmy.ml/c/aww
The “aww” site can be found/subbed by searching on your account’s server for: !aww@lemmy.ml
**Example: **I’m on lemmy.world so if I go to: https://lemmy.world/search and enter the “!” string above it finds me a link that once clicked presents me with a “Subscribe” button.
I’m subscribed to those, but as per @apepi@lemmy.world below, I NEED MORE CATS! Lol.
Edit: I tried to post in c/aww but I only have lemmy.world account :(
Ok I figured it out. So from my community blahaj, I subscribed to aww. Then in blahaj I create a new post and search for the aww community. And it worked. Give it a try!
Exactly! You don’t need an account on the specific instance, it all federates! You can subscribe to communities on any instance that isn’t blocked :D
Punch in !aww@lemmy.ml in the search bar on lemmy.world, and it will take you there. You can post there no problem.
Those are here!
Yey! Just subbed! Thank you!! @KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world you are a star!!
My pleasure!
They wouldn’t let me onto Beehaw with the answer I gave to their question, so I joined the first instance I could find that looked interesting. Now I kind of feel awkward making any new communities that aren’t Star Trek related lol.
@Mojo @KahunaDaKine on the same page, was initially bummed out my account didn’t get approved, guess my answer was poo lol. But then I remembered I can use my Mastodon account to comment. I just can’t create post or downvote them.
Favoriting counts as a upvote though.So I’m basically a lurker now lmfao! (ʘ‿ʘ)
try lemmy.world - it’s big, it allows community creation and downvoting, and allows NSFW. And signups are open.
I joined because I thought it was the most unrestricted and versatile in terms of rules.
Plus the owner seems pretty chill. Keeping us all updated on his server plans and everything. Kinda like that and knowing the fate is in the users handy.
But then I remembered I can use my Mastodon account to comment. I just can’t create post or downvote them.
Fun fact! You can make posts from Mastodon to Lemmy. If you search the community on Mastodon, e.g. lemmyworld@lemmy.world, you can @ the account that should show up with whatever you want to post, and it will show up here!
Ha, that’s kind of funny, and nice instance name. Can make a community over at Lemmy.pro if you like

Average Lemmy user
Yeah, I miss r/Psoriasis, because I have auto-immune, and I miss r/AskDentist and r/AskMechanic and all the learning based subs basically.
I miss r/KitchenConfidential. It was a subreddit for people who work in the food industry. I feel like I’ve lost my support group.
Yes, but then I remember that my account is only 2 days old, and maybe I am just too impatient now.
Bahaha yes! Everytime I feel like things are just not there quick enough , I look at my profile and then i calm down and remember shit just don’t happen and i chill out.
Yes… like for Plex, 3d printing and other applications. Support via reddit was best around…
But seeing some new stuff would also be nice…
I saw a 3dprinting. Plex and DizqueTV would be nice.
Here’s the 3d printing one I found !3dprinting@lemmy.world
Following up on this. There is a Plex community that’s already pretty well established. So neither of us need make one. (There’s a few more as well but it’s totally dead)
I’m on my phone so I don’t want to this second, but will comment as a reminder to myself, I’ll start a Plex community if one doesn’t exist by the time I get there. The sub on Reddit wasn’t very active but was good for small bits of things people figured out or bitching about the newest feature that isn’t one everyone wanted lol.
For Plex, the selfhosted community (I don’t remember which instance) can probably help.
I started (like 2 hours ago) a Poetry community in my instance. I modded a few microscopic subreddits that never got any traffic, so I’m used to imposter syndrome as a moderator 😥
Just do it anyway and randomly assign people who post there to be mods.
But that’ll just scare everyone away! :S
But is this not an evil move to do that? force responsibility on others?
Yes. I am mostly joking, but I don’t find it to be “that” serious of a crime.
I miss idiotsincars
Awesome! Subbed
.
Absolutely, yes. There are a decent number of subreddits I enjoyed, but only as a lurker.
I’m in the same boat. I loved subbing to random niche communities just to learn about them, but I know nothing about those topics myself so it doesn’t make sense for me to start a new one.
We can scrape every content from those subreddits and put them on lemmy.
