    Something I just noted. I have no clue as to whether this is a feature or a bug but some communities are duplicated across different servers - there are several ‘Technology’ for example, and I’ve seen some others - they’re clearly not just mirrors or something because the subscriber numbers are wildly different.

    As I understand it the Lemmy rules state that you’re supposed to check before you create a community, but clearly if you originate it on a different server to the existing one that duplication is allowed. I only mention it because its probably worth keeping an eye out for other ‘Freemasonry’ communities popping up, so we can let them know that this one already exists…

      I think that’s a feature rather than a bug? It would be unwieldy to make people check every Lemmy instance for duplicate communities, but I’ll be interested to see how that works out over time since (as you noted) we can look at and join communities outside our home instances

    Hi, I am an Italian entered apprentice, recently initiated. Glad to see a port of r/freemasonry here in the fediverse. Hope to see many brothers join here in the next future.

    Greetings to all of you from Pennsylvania! As this is the internet, remember you don’t have to be completely specific as to your identity. Remember that this is not a tyled lodge, the community is open to all.

    Moderation will be limited, please keep posts related to Freemasonry. I will also add a few other mods when the time comes.

      Well as Reddit is dark I thought I’d pop my head round the door. UGLE here, and my username here is the same as Reddit. I assume you’re running this instance DukeThorion

          That’s not what I was suggesting. It doesn’t matter. I’m struggling with this actually - the responsiveness of the servers is really up and down on my end - I keep getting logged out for one thing. Clearly that’s a consequence of various communities in here exploding in the last day or so…

            I’ve had a few bugs as well as issues, but they seem to be making a lot of progress as they go. Today is essentially Reddit protest day, so all known servers are going to be under stress.

    Greetings from the Grand Lodge of Indiana (USA).

    I am a current Master of the Lodge (5-time Past Master). Former Secretary.

    I’m a warm body in a small town, and I know some ritual, so I’m in high demand. 😊
