MODERATORS
 

Hey all! Mod team of r/unixporn here. After a couple weeks of work on our end, we finally have a Lemmy community at LemmyWorld that we're committing to moderating in the long run. Additionally, due to Lemmy's federation, you should be able to crosspost between here and there even if you don't have an account on LemmyWorld. Hope to see you there!

Why are you moving instance? And why to an already packed instance?

Please just use this already-present community unless you have a good reason to fragment the group

[–] sky@codesink.io 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's no good reason. There never is, other than the reddit mods wanting control and not wanting to share with those who already built community on Lemmy.

Acting like there's only one true community and anyone else would have malicious intent. Jesus Christ man.

That's... not really what I said?

I think having multiple communities about the same subject on different instances can be interesting and potentially good!

I just think in this case there wasn't really a need to make a new community, when the main difference is a mod team from a different website. The tone of the post struck me as telling the community what to do. I was a little assumptive, I suppose.

I used to mod a subreddit/discord that has already had a couple lemmy communities pop up, so this is something I've been talking about with friends for a bit. I'm personally hoping to see moderators of reddit communities making space for new people to run things.

On reddit when I reminded to other users that this community existed and they could move here you insisted to clarify that you're not moving on Lemmy and reminding that the only official communities are on reddit and on discord. Now you change your mind and we should start cross posting, for what? So we can have that mod team who tried to discredit this place, instead of this community which is perfectly fine? Hell no, you made your decision, now you deal with it.

Should we maybe unpin this post? @StardustKyun@lemmy.ml

You might also probably want to add a few moderators as the only other one is Dessalines

[–] caboclo@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 1 year ago

@dessalines@lemmy.ml please gimme moderation so I can remove this pinned post.

[–] StardustKyun@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Currently looking into getting some new mods here, post has been unpinned.

What's gonna happend with this one?

[–] ManyRoads@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

As a potential subscriber who has submitted several requests to subscribe AND seems not ever 'receive' approval... I'd say 'things' are not operating smoothly, yet.

Happy to see it! Have you guys reached out to the mods of this community yet? Some high profile communities that have migrated from reddit have merged with existing communities (See !android@lemdro.id)
