Together with emotes they’re really great for larger communities since they also allow sorting by flair.

For us over at /r/thegoldengator allows posters to pick one for each streamer or focus, if the post is

• artwork
• video
• photo
• clip
• highlighting a specific character

For smaller communities though they’re probably redundant.

Maybe this is not how it works at all and it’s better to host your own instance?

Sorry if this is a noob question but can only admins open communities?

Like for example if I wanted to create and moderate the following:

• /c/thegoldengator (like /r/thegoldengator)
• /c/twitch (like /r/twitch)

I would apply to do so somehow? Trying to figure out the user interface but maybe it’s limited because I’m on mobile.

Thanks

Howdy everyone!

I’m Cragsand, washed up roleplayer and science nerd. I’m mostly involved in Twitch streaming communities and post content and highlights and memes related to them over on Reddit.

Currently checking out open source and federated alternatives with the whole Reddit charging obscene amounts for API access, basically killing off all of their third party clients.🔥 Glanced at Lemmy but had some concerns regarding the bigger instances… Another project I checked out was KBin which looks promising but has some work cutout to improve their UI.

The subreddit I’m mostly involved in is this streaming/roleplay subreddit:

• https://www.reddit.com/r/thegoldengator/

Would sharing comedic and sometimes mature/borderline nsfw clips and similar even fit in here? Not sure if this is the right place to ask either but appreciate advice! 😉

Cheers
